As a 50 year autograph collector who liquidated about 40 % of his collection over the last 7 years I hope to see them remain separate entities but I understand the sentiment to combine them because over the past 3 - 4 years I’ve noticed a decrease in the quality of the posts on the sight . Less and less of vintage acquisitions and showing upgrades and monumental acquisitions but more mundane acquisitions and who is this signature and is it authentic posts ; and while these are important posts I believe the true intent has been lost. I believe this is a direct reflection of many factors including less people collecting autographs and specifically HOFer autographs , especially the ultra rare ones and the propensity of fraudulent autographs in the market and the lack of faith and overwhelming reliance on 3rd party TPAs for their purchase decisions plus the cost of acquiring the rare and ultra rare autographs- the fact is the majority of collectors aren’t as fortunate as I am to be able to acquire those autographs when price wasn’t a concern. When I stopped collecting HOFer autographs in 2017 I needed 32 to have legitimate autographs of every HOFer and I’m happy I stopped .
The decision to combine or not combine will be a decision that reflects the sentiment of the current evolution of this aspect of the hobby .
