I would like to clarify your thought process on this one, if you don't mind.
You were not totally comfortable with the autographs yourself, but a 3rd party authenticator (and one with many known mistakes), giving only an opinion, stated that in their OPINION it was likely authentic.
So despite your own misgivings you went ahead and bid on two different autograph items?
The card guys say "buy the card not the holder",,, autograph guys should say "buy the autograph not the holder."
And I keep reminding people that D-e-l-e-h-a-n-t-y is not the way that the HOFer spelled his name and despite that obvious misspelling on a handwritten letter both PSA and JSA authenticated it, to the tune of $30K in a Hunt Auction.
