Great observation and so correct. That's the essence of collecting.
The first autograph from that website was obtained when Ty Cobb's granddaughter had his canceled checks for $40. That was in 1984. One of the most recent pieces was the Frisch letter about doing a "thorough job" on the Vets Committee. LOVE the content on that simple piece. Then there's the most common signature of William Harridge. In it he tells Clark Griffith to give the annual pass to Ike and VP Nixon. Ten years later I found a wire photo dated a few days after the letter that featured Griffith giving Eisenhower the pass. Inexpensive but solid attention to detail.
It takes a ton of time and effort though it's lots of fun.
