Jim,
What I mean is this...
1) Sub forum of Autograph forum named "Autograph opinions" or similar.
2) Threads in sub-forum labeled by name of player
3) All requests for help and responses to those requests posted in that thread.
4) Using a Like/Dislike feature for each opinion request post to create a type of mini poll for each request in thread. Below each post it could read something like
"X number of people liked this post" with a list of names
"X number of people disliked this post" with a list of names
5) Responders can add a f/u post explaining their opinion in more detail if they desire.

Yes. This would mean that good and bad would be mixed together, but I don't think it would be cumbersome at all. As of right now, if you want to research Mantle, you have to open every separate thread and read a bunch of posts to understand if the general opinion of the board about the item in question is good or bad. I think going to one thread that has good and bad mixed with a mini poll beneath each stating whether the consensus is good or bad would have way more utility. I think seeing the bad ones is just as important as seeing the good ones when learning about judging autographs.

To James' point, I also think each post will likely get more responses using the Like/Dislike feature. It's easy to see how many views each post has, yet for various reasons, only a few may actually respond. A quick yes/no option would allow people to respond quickly and easily.

I just think a full exemplar section, while a great idea, has too many challenges to pull off well without someone willing to dedicate a large chunk of time to administer it.
