"Just show me the Carfax."

Sadly, that's what this segment of the hobby is devolving to.

I know Ron is knowledgable and a good guy, I am not saying that at all. What I am saying is that autograph authentication is a game of opinions and one persons opinion does not make it a fact either way. I am not an authenticator and never want to be, but I think if I were doing a story on Mathewson autographs calling them fake and secretarial as if it was common knowledge and a FACT I would make sure that assesment was based on more than just the opinion of one person.

They may indeed be secretarial, I am not saying they are not, it is just shotty research to claim fact when indeed the basis of your entire article is opinion regardless of how much weight you put on the opinion.

Unfortunately, these days the basis of an entire purchase is based on opinion. And not the opinion of the purchaser. (Or what the autograph looks like.)
