My opinion is if you're a newer dealer or collector don't start out with Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth. I'm thinking more like Tom Seaver.
In fact Pre-WWI common players is an interesting area. Obscure players but they can have good value and are in demand. Last edited by drc; 04-01-2012 at 12:22 PM.

David I only sell PSA or JSA for now. I sell probably about 98% baseball cards. Richard thanks for your help as well as all of the other comments. You are also right David Tom Seaver is probably better for me at this point in time. I have since looked closer at the Gehrig and see some things that would make me question it, but it took me about 5 minutes of comparing. I guess I cannot be impatient when looking at autos. I do not mind selling Pete Rose and Johnny Bench I am from Cincinnati and have seen hundreds of these and I am comfortable with them.

I'd recommend getting a list of good autograph dealers and auction houses, on and off eBay, and following what they have for sale, see if you can pick up a few good deals. Just one example would be Lelands.com, when they have an auction. Saying you got an autograph from Lelands, with a print out of their catalog description for documemntation, is as good a provenance as anything.

David thanks for the tip. I like to highlight my auctions with one decent autograph. I feel it brings as much attention to the auction for the same amount of money as some advertisements. I will not have my auctions become some sort of forgery circus. People that buy from me trust me and I respect that. I will look into Leland's.

The seller of this autograph lives in the same city/town and state as you do.Maybe you could contact them and see if they have anymore framed cuts of Gehrig so you can see them in person.That would be a good way to get a nice look at either an authentic or fake cut auto.Jason Wells

Jason I know this guy personally. I do not want to be seen with him in any fashion because of the fakes. I do not want someone to see me there and think this stuff is mine or anything else. It is hard to explain, but rumors can kill a reputation.

The really sad part is that this auction has a really good following and could make better money shooting it straight.
