 , but I will work with whomever is, in order to help make it a success. Many times things sound great until it's time to do something. (which is ok too) I am fairly neutral, as I don't collect autographs, but am almost always willing to lend a hand to help with operational stuff.

Sounds like a great idea to me, Scott.

Apart from being time consuming ...Wouldn't we then need to start a "sub" forum to argue which of the examples are REAL and which ones are Not ?
Also ...most of the REAL tough examples both Hall of Fame and Non Hall of Fame are examples that most WON'T want to share for obvious reasons. Especially legit handwriting samples. Maybe I'm missing something and sure don't want to be the fly in the ointment or what ever it is they call it but multiple autograph examples both good and bad can be easily accessed on line using any one of the major search engines in a matter of seconds. And last but not least a false impression might be conveyed that just by comparing an autograph side by side , authenticity (or lack of it) can be determined. In reality its a little more complicated than that. IMHO _________________________ jim@stinsonsports.com I buy and sell vintage Baseball Autographs stinsonsports.com

'Flies in the ointment' are good.
I google in order to make decisions, but many will google, find a sig with an associated loa, and decide that's an 'exemplar'. The expertise in this subforum allows us to make better decisions. Just wondering if we can tap our own expertise in a more organized fashion.

Leon, here's an idea.
I think others have a good point that the discussions are more valuable than actual exemplars. What if we had a sub-forum of autograph discussions, with threads grouped by player? That way, if someone had a question about Mantle, for example (rhyme), they could go find the 'Mantle' area and look through various discussion threads. The trick would be deciding which discussions were worthy of adding as exemplars.

Love the idea. This is exactly what the hobby needs and I'll contribute whatever I can.
The only problem I see is, as mentioned, it's probably better to describe what makes a particular autograph "good" versus just posting a photo. Not sure how many to the "Top Guns" would share that hard learned knowledge. Also, I remember discussing this with an esteemed member here a while back and we agreed that to do something like this really well would be about the size of a dozen volume set  It's worth a shot.
