If you have a glass of clear cold water and you place a drop of urine in it you have a glass full of urine. NOT a glass of cold water with a little urine in in.

it's really indicative of the problem of "cut" autographs. Not all are always bad, but they are cuts for a reason most of the time. If you see a cut, that should get your radar up first and foremost. They like to frame them with other nice pieces and elaborate frames to dazzle, but it's still a cut and proceed with caution. but this particular one does not look right.

Good point made above but lately I have even been offered Government postcards (with postmarks) and even personal checks , that are extremely well executed forgeries

I think it's a safe be that anyone with a large autograph collection has, over the years, unknowingly obtained a clunker or two. Are you saying you wouldn't bother looking at a collection that may happen to have a few bad ones in it?
