Yes, especially if he can get them certed. Your question implies that you don't believe a forger could be good enough to do these; is that right?

You aren't the slightest bit skeptical when eleven signed photos of the biggest names show up out of nowhere? And they are all perfect, and not a single one of those players wrote "To John," or "Best wishes," or "Sincerely," or "4/17/48," or anything of the like? Have you ever seen an autograph you didn't like?

Nope. Never have. Except for that Gary Cooper piece.

My question does not imply that at all. I'm not responsible for what you infer.
There are certainly forgers that good. But i don't believe anyone that good would be that stupid.

Ah, gotcha. Well, I think he could be that stupid (especially if they're authenticated by somebody). If you open up all those photos in tabs and flip through 'em quickly and over and over again, you don't smell anything the slightest bit fishy?

[David Atkatz]

Quite the opposite. As I posted a while back, there are variations among the "Ruth"s that I interpret as evidence of their being genuine. A practiced forger would not, I believe, show such variation--having worked hard to perfect his perfect Ruth.

You say a forger wouldn't be this stupid. But that could be what they want you to think, that no way would a forger be stupid enough to make so many and sell at once. And maybe they'd also change the Sig different to make them all not look 100% the same.

And maybe God created the universe 6000 years ago, seeded with all the evidence to look like it is actually 15 billion years old.

My advice to you, Brock, is... don't bid on any of them.
