Well, then you have the "experts" saying almost everything posted here for opinion is no good, even stuff signed in person! You are right, it's a mine field.

Maybe make this a poll question - Are there more altered cards with number grades (PSA, SGC, CGC, Beckett) or forged autographs with certs (PSA, JSA, Beckett)?

Personally, I think the number of cert'd fake autographs is relatively low. Uncerted, you better either know your stuff or buy from a trusted dealer.

This is why more and more im leaning toward TPAs are necessary for resale value.

Because the opinion sellers have such a solid history of honesty, integrity and knowledge.
