Again to the point of why I don't collect autos. As a kid, the fact that a card was "old" was cool enough for me. Look at this thing that came out of a pack 30, 50, even 75 years ago! At least for items like tobacco cards or Goudeys, it seems a little too good to be true for all of those that are coming out now to have been autographed as well. But to the points made earlier - people get all romanticized about something and can lose reasonable objectivity. I get it.
