I would say, despite being easier said than done, that it is essential to do research of the autograph you want to purchase rather than using a coa of any kid as a crutch.

Bruce I am an autograph hound and aspiring celebrity. Would love to be in your show and the attention associated. Are you holding auditions?

Hi Bruce! Been collecting for about 20 years now. I collect anything and everyone who is famous, excepting those who have commited henous crimes. I actually have autographs of celebrities from about 20 nations in fact. Hope this helps!!

definitely you should discuss that COA's don't mean S*** !!!  Anyone with a printer can make one...and if you are really sophisticated you can get a hologram with matching numbers...wooo!!  :)   I think what would be interesting is to take some of the most commonly forged autos (ie mantle, williams, dimaggio), and see who could pick out the real ones (perhaps show them to random people at a sports memorabilia shop...and then separately to "experts").

A segment on PSA or JSA would be pretty cool. Maybe a behind the scenes look at how both companies authenticate autographs in the office and different interviews with the professional authenticators.
