<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7684097, member: 100459"]My son (now 50 Y/O) would collect a box of baseball cards each year (as well as comic books). He is more anal than I am about our collections. He started collecting when he was 12 (1973). Each year when he got his baseball cards, he would get all of the cards for the Atlanta Braves and take them to a neighborhood friend that played for the Braves. He did it for three years until he was told that they couldn't do it any more. All of those cards were put in card holders to protect them. He also collected Marvel comic books that he bought from the store he worked at. They, too, are well protected. Over the years he sold some of the cards to pay his tuition at UNC-CH. He now owns to beach houses (paid for) and 3 of his children are at BYU. I am or was a CPA and I must have taught him something. </p><p>I talked to him about the proforma autographs and he said the real collectors of autographs can be detected. The companies that sell things with autographs and pays the individuals well. However, proforma signatures are like Chinese coins and if detected... buyers beware. If the signers don't have a contract, and even if they are dead. the company selling proforma signatures on items that they sell will be legally label for fraud and anything else a lawyer wants to do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
