it is extremely likely that a number--possibly even a large number--of those high-end Ruth singles are forged. But every photo that Peter has posted is taken directly from the catalog of a high-end sports auction house--Mastro, Lelands, SCP, REA, Heritage, etc., and these auctions took place over the past 10-15 years or so.
Where have all the knowledgeable people (myself included) been? Why has no one spoken up before this? We all, to some degree or other, have been found wanting.
That doesn't speak well for the autograph hobby.
