Look at the Chief Meyers card noted in Vanessa's thread about the Ruth and Gehrig autograph.

Looking at the scan of the EBay sale and looking at the American Memorabila sale; the major difference is that the American Memorabilia HAS the JSA logo attached to the card; whilst the Ebay sale only said that this card would pass muster (which it did).

I know we discuss this all the time on the board -- and some of the arguments can get personal (which makes for fun train wrecks and entertaining evenings) but I'd prefer we have one discussion which does not fall into that.

So, the question is:

How often are you willing to buy something pre-War WITHOUT having it certified by an card grading service or an authentication service for autographs, etc.

If you are, give a concrete example or 2 as to how you determined an item was good; if not -- tell us why not
