Same here. Always a signed Fleer Jordan hitting the market, Jackies, Mantles, etc. How many of these are actually real ??

How many 1933 Goudey Gehrig's and Ruth's have hit the market recently? All the sudden people found these in their collections that were handed down and wondered if these guys' cards were worth something?

I never trusted this space of the hobby. Nor the game used area. Cards are bad enough but signed and game used requires more suspension of disbelief than I can muster up.

EXACTLY why. Autographs were crooked as hell before they migrated their way to sportscards. This should be a shock to anyone. Especially with all the scribbles being done today, mostly by the athletes family and friends.

The most coveted and expensive Ohtani signed card his autograph starts with a "C" and then a line and maybe a "y". It rediculous.
