Even with the big companies be careful.
Recently a 1927 NY Yankee fold-out with signatures of the starting nine was found to have questionable signatures of Ruth and Gehrig as well as others.
I can't find the link with the story right now, but I'll look later and post it.

Not to reopen the discussion from a previous thread, but considering that the big companies either use the TPGs or in house personnel who have even less expertise, I would make sure you educate yourself on what you are buying.
