Autograph or Art? (Part 2)

Last month, I wrote about my autograph collection being recently expanded to include original comic and sports art. The hobby seems to be growing in popularity.

These guys just don’t quit on new names for selling fake memorabilia. I’ve lost track of the amount of names they have had in the past year. It’s all the same stuff and website with a new name (their name isn’t really clear either).
