My suggestion.
Perhaps, rather than an exemplar file, which I think would be very labor intensive to maintain, how about a subforum for opinion requests? The format of this subforum could be long specific player posts. For example, The first post could be "Mickey Mantle." All requests for Mantle help and their respective replies could be put under that one post. This would make it easy for people to find comparators, both good and bad for the same person. Perhaps with each request, responders could use the like and dislike buttons to identify their opinion. This would make it easy for anyone to quickly find and identify the bad ones without having to read pages of f/u posts. Additionally, a responder could add a new post to the thread with a more detailed opinion if they wish.(I wouldn't want to rob Shelly of his happy and sad faces!) Each player, of significance at least, could have their own thread. Mantle, Dimaggio, Williams, Ruth, and Mays immediately come to mind as being asked about enough to justify their own thread. I realize that most of the same results could be achieved by utilizing the search function. My suggestion would just serve to group similar stuff together a bit more. Edit: I just realized this forum, doesn't have a like/dislike function with each post. Perhaps this functionality could be added? I don't know how the software for the forum works, but I have seen those buttons in other forums, perhaps it's something that is easy to add?

Jim,
What I mean is this... 1) Sub forum of Autograph forum named "Autograph opinions" or similar. 2) Threads in sub-forum labeled by name of player 3) All requests for help and responses to those requests posted in that thread. 4) Using a Like/Dislike feature for each opinion request post to create a type of mini poll for each request in thread. Below each post it could read something like "X number of people liked this post" with a list of names "X number of people disliked this post" with a list of names 5) Responders can add a f/u post explaining their opinion in more detail if they desire. Yes. This would mean that good and bad would be mixed together, but I don't think it would be cumbersome at all. As of right now, if you want to research Mantle, you have to open every separate thread and read a bunch of posts to understand if the general opinion of the board about the item in question is good or bad. I think going to one thread that has good and bad mixed with a mini poll beneath each stating whether the consensus is good or bad would have way more utility. I think seeing the bad ones is just as important as seeing the good ones when learning about judging autographs. To James' point, I also think each post will likely get more responses using the Like/Dislike feature. It's easy to see how many views each post has, yet for various reasons, only a few may actually respond. A quick yes/no option would allow people to respond quickly and easily. I just think a full exemplar section, while a great idea, has too many challenges to pull off well without someone willing to dedicate a large chunk of time to administer it.

50% of th inquiries on the board regarding "is this authentic?" are the big 3 so to start there with those three guys would make the most sense.
