Frankie, that first Ruth is hideous and the Ruth cut on that "fake scarcity" card are HORRIFIC, and those were passed by the big three. DEAR GOD
Chris, Ebay, as you have stated many times, doesn't care. And guys like Kevin Keating and Richard Simon have sterling reputations. This is uttlery ridiculous. At least some of the GAI stuff is fairly close, tho that ball isn't close at all.
Private sales seems to be the wave, or should be, on hi end autographs. This is very disturbing and if I was in a position to collect hi priced sigs, this kinda stuff would likely worry me a lot. As Chris has said, knowledge gained seems to be the ticket, not someones else's opinions, esp when hideously bad stuff gets passed routinely, even by the "big boys".. Depressing..
