With all the forgeries now entering the market, it's up to the big boys to once again take charge and do something about it. The National Sports Card Convention would be a great place to start. Assuring collectors who will stand in line to get into the convention could be assured that the owners of the National are doing all they can to ensure the dealers exhibiting are doing their best that all autographs sold are genuine. The National could in their advertisements make a statemnet that an un-identified autograph expert will be walking the floors looking at autographs that are on display and are for sale. This alone, would stop some sellers from bringing in for sale some questionable autographs.The National should not have such a short memory that not long ago one seller of autographs that was selling forgeries to several dealers was removed from the show by security. This event, this same dealer will have a booth at the show. I'm positive there are dealers on the waitng list for a booth and not have to rely selling a booth to someone with such a questionable background. The National should take the lead during these troubled times and give collectors and new dealers some piece of mind.
