One point lost in many of these discussions is the CC consignors. Most of the people on this board have a tendency to focus solely on CC (rightfully so), but who exactly is giving CC these obviously bad autographs?
I never gave the issue much thought (i'm not a big autograph guy) until I ran into a longtime dealer/collecting buddy of mine at a Pennsylvania auction recently. He told me CC has become the dumping ground of several reputable auction houses looking to dispose of their obviously bad material and sigs that flunk PSA/DNA & JSA. He cited one well-known auction house specifically (that I won't mention here) that routinely consigns items there almost every month.
I found this shocking.
