Very, very, interesting...

Yes, that's what I meant. It feathers when it hits old paper and sometimes wood... you'd think it would be true to a degree for leather as well.

Looks like his book will soon be coming out.

It sounds like the "leap" of faith is getting further and further.....

Due to what Leon and others have said. I think we may see a big drop in values on rare, vintage signatures. There is just too much "risk", compared to say, pieces of memorabilia, tho some like programs, have been reprinted/faked.

Altered Cards is still an issue, but as most have said on other threads, I don't think thats near as big a problem, as forgeries, esp w SGC, PSA, Beckett and your REPUTABLE grading services.

Perhaps we will see a rise in value in rare, vintage signatures that are not authenticated.

As far as doctored cards go, "if a card is doctored and you can't tell, is it really doctored", I say this in jest, but there's some truth to it.
