Not trying to be a contrarian here, and no question caution is required when collecting autographs. BUT...how many fake signed t206s got past SGC, wasn't it on the order of a dozen or so and a couple more from PSA? Whatever it was, in the total universe of authenticated autographs, I think the applicable phrase might be negligible bordering on infinitesimal, so I don't see how that would sour anybody on one of the great hobbies in the world. Maybe if you were one of those victimized, but even so it wouldn't seem to be on the level of buying a house with plumbing that all had to be replaced, so you're never going to buy another house? No, you'll learn a lesson and move on, that's all.
