I completely agree. I'm into cards, not autos ..... and I see SO often the same story....... "grandpa died and we are selling off his collection" .... and it will be a bunch of factory sealed 1980's topps/fleer sets and 2 trimmed prewar cards
And really ..... the ONLY reason I even brought the mantle pic over here to let you guys see it/offer it to you is because they pepper these auctions with things like this book that seem to have a bit of provenance ...... and again, I AM NOT A COLLECTOR ..... but here is a book from a negro league "party" or whatever .... with an invitation to the party, a book signed by the author.... and then signed by negro leaguers as well ....
All supposedly coming from the same consigner.
