One of the reasons I asked this question is that over the years I have purchased a few autographs (at separate times) and they were all on paper that was from the "Desk of Dr. John Davis Jr.". After the 3rd one, I looked up his name on the internet and found that he had been a long time collector who had died in 2002. He willed his collection of Chief Justice autographs to his alma mater and I assume his kids sold off some or all of the others. So now part of his memory, and collection, live through me and my collection...and I think that's kinda neat. Somewhere down the line when my collection gets broken up and sold, I plan on having the type of documentation that will not only tell people that it came from my collection, but also that it came from places like his collection as well.
