Corporate advertising in the autographs world. I'm leaving names out:

"After 30 years in business, during which time well over 1,000,000 signed items have crossed their paths..." That comes to 45.6 pieces per day per authenticator. Whew!

"$100,000 worth of quality new autographs every week...$5,000,000 paid out every year..." So on $5,000,000 he only makes $200,000 a year? Pretty lousy return...

"These generic LOAs differ from our premium documents in as much as they are preliminary reviews of the items and do not go through the rigors our full examination process..." Does that mean I'm just a little bit pregnant, Dad?

"Guaranteed acceptance of our Letter of Authenticity by collectors, dealers, and ALL auction houses worldwide..." Not really.
