Fortunately, if you are a collector whose money is important to you, with some research it can become easy to spot the work of the "skilled forgers", as they are consistent and they have tells. I'm constantly amazed at how much money is spent in major auctions on gorgeous single-signed Babe Ruth balls that are clear forgeries. I realize they aren't "clear forgeries" to everyone, but if you are dropping $15K+ on a Ruth ball, you would think you would do a little research.
