Leon and David are both correct.
The reason that I made my statement about cards being even more problematic than autographs is because it makes me smile when I read people making comments about how they don't collect autographs because of forgeries and authentication companies that make mistakes. Both doctored cards and forged autographs are problems in a relatively young hobby with easy money available to somebody who puts in the effort to deceive. But, in my opinion, The problem of altered cards is much worse than some forged Ruth balls. If you are going to devote 10 articles to forged Ruth balls, you should be devoting 50 articles to doctored cards. It would take alot of $300,000 Ruth balls to equal the amount spent on cards that used to be 4's and 5's and have been turned into 7's and 8's. Scott

Long time, no talk, hope that you are doing well Richard. I would be shocked, shocked to hear otherwise!
Some are worse than others, and some are pretty good. That goes for both cards and autographs. I know that fighting to bring to light autograph forgeries has been your crusade for years and it is a problem that needs to be addressed and fixed. My point is that there are problems everywhere and I would not have much more confidence in high grade expensive cards than I would in high grade expensive autographs. Scott
