I understand this wasn't new technology. I guess what I meant to say was that its just like counterfeiting money...crooks will always be upgrading their technology and improve their products to try to screw people. In many instances it's getting harder and harder to spot fakes and it certainly doesn't help when the "pros" are taking your hard earned money and authenticating fakes to add to the dilemma.

Now that this has become much more of a big business since the 70s, I don't even want to know how many fakes have been authenticated over the years. The market is over-saturated with fakes big time.

There is no end game, thats why I think it's wise to stay away from autographed items unless you're HIGHLY experienced.

I do agree with that to some degree. I will repeat for the umpteenth time, if you limit your purchases to reputable knowledgable dealers who know what they are doing then you will have a very nice collection.
One of the people who answered my post to place their name on my mailing list wrote to me and said that every item in his collection came from Jim Stinson,except for one,which came from Rich Albersheim. He has a very strong chance of having a completely authentic collection.

In the last week, in other threads, I have listed them twice.
One more time
Jim Stinson, Bill Corcoran, Ron Gordon, Rich Albersheim, Kevin Keating, Phil Marks, Danny Cariseo and for auction houses Lelands, the only major sports auction house I know of that does not use TPA. For non sports autographs Alexander Autographs is an outstanding auction house that does not use TPA and offers some amazing items.
I am sure there are other good dealers out there that I have not mentioned but I have known these guys for a long time and respect their knowledge and integrity.
And for the purposes of full disclosure - some of them do buy from me and I have bought from some of them.

There was a time, pre PSA/DNA and JSA, that Jimmy Spence the dealer was considered to be in that same company you list here. If you were asked the same question then, would he have been on your list?

Do you want to go back in time and buy from him 12 years ago?
I am recommending dealers for the here and now.

Go back in time? That's just silly. You clearly have strong opinions. I'm just curious about the evolution of such opinions.
