I think that risk was there even before this news. Several collectors wouldn’t touch post production autographs. Several collectors would. I don’t think this news sways anyone. And I don’t think this frankly changes the outlook on slabbed autos. What it probably does is further entrenches the collectors who don’t collect signed slabs.
I own two Ruth autos - both slabbed, great cards, and I know a few collectors that would never want it, and I know several collectors that would love for me to sell it. And I’ll be bidding for another one when the right one pops up.
Thats the beauty of the this hobby; everyone is entitled to their own opinion!
Sincerely, fake autograph collector
