All politics aside, I attend a rally today in the Philadelphia area for Mitt Romney. As is their custom now after the speech he went around the stage area and signed autographs. I waited with a Baseball and had a ballpoint with me but was told by the SS to put the pen away as the Gov carried his own pen. As he came closer I saw he had a sharpie and guessed that is how it was going to be. As I handed him the baseball he turned to a staff person and said, "Baseball, please give me a ballpoint".

Points to him for knowing the right way of signing a baseball

That's today. By tomorrow, he'll have flip-flopped, and will sign a baseball with a Sharpie.

That's true David, but also true of just about every politician including our current King...err, I mean President.

I hope all those autograph nay sayers have been looking at this thread and hopefully now have a little more appreciation for our end of the hobby.

Well said Richard and thanks for kicking this thread off.

Just like any niche collecting world where there's money to be made (or ill-gotten), forgers will exist. Any like any other collecting focus, it's incumbent on the buyer/collector to be well informed regarding their passion.
