Thanks for your opinions, guys. I'm inclined to agree with your conclusions.
I have been collecting autographs since the 1970s, and I bought autographs from many of the best known sellers in the business. Many of the older HOF and older deceased player autographs in my collection were purchased many years ago when the business was based solely on the seller's knowledge, trust and reputation. There were no TPAs, no internet, no reference books on baseball autographs. You trusted your seller, so keeping detailed records on what you got from whom, when, and how much you paid was unnecessary unless you had a good reason to keep it. I am now looking at older, tougher autographs in my collection to determine if they are good and if I should submit them to a TPA. I appreciate the help and opinions of the members of this board.
