How about a speakerphone conversation with one of these crooked authenticators?

The bottomline is that WE all know who the crooks are, but the people buying don't and that's probably not his target audience...which is a shame.

I go to a card show about twice a year. I would say at least 1/2 the tables w/ autographs have those crappy COA's (Global, Stat, Scoreboard, Burczyk, etc.) I look and just move on. Perhaps, it is time I (and perhaps the honest people need to take a stand).

How can we change the culture where a dealer just doesn't feel safe or comfortable to place these items out for sale?
