And do you scour Coach's Corner for boxing autos, planning to tear up the cert that they offer if you find one you want and believe to be real?


We are going to disagree here. No one is right 100% of the time.

I am not sure where you are quoting me from. I have said in another thread that the TPA's are not knowledgable in boxing and that is why Travis has problems with them. The mistakes they have made have been well illustrated by him.
I never defended them in baseball either, though I guess their % is higher in baseball than it is in boxing. But that is faint praise.

My quote of you was that baseball autos with TPA sell for more money (certainly true), which Travis said was not true in the boxing example he gave.

They sell for more money partly because the dealers add the expense of the TPA to the price of the item.
