Should Autograph Authenticators sell or Consign Autographs to Auction Houses were they authenticate?

Now here is a fair question to ponder upon. Many on this site will be angry and attack, but yet a fair and important question that needs to be addressed. My answers and reseach will come at the end of the Blog Post.

I am Scott Davidoff.

This is a member account that Mike Frost apparently set up and used for the PAAS blog post. I'm going to delete any further posts from this name. If you're a dealer, authenticator or anyone working in the autograph industry, use your real name.

Let's count the typos on his last post, I count six. I think we all know who this person really is.

Steve,
What is with the fear and obsession you have with Mike Frost? I am not Mike Frost and have never met him. I know nothing about him or P.A.A.S.., other then you and your crack staff seem to be making him very important to the industry. My earlier posts were simply to expose Mike Aring , who I know very well.
This has nothing to do with the fair question that has been posted. It seems that there is already concerns about the answers.
I am a collector , not a dealer.
My Real Name is Scott Steven Davidoff. -Do you also want my Jewish name?

I'm going to have to put an IQ test in the sign-up form.

Why not? Since auction houses (or James Spence Authentication and PSA/DNA, each used by auction houses) do not rely on only one opinion when it comes to authenticity, but the expertise of many experts and specialists, I am pretty sure that if more than one expert questions the authenticity of an item consigned by another expert, the item will not appear at the auction. In addition, I do not believe that when an expert is shown an item for authentication, he is told who the submitter is. At least that's the way it was when I was a PSA/DNA expert (2006-2009) and the way it is now as a Spence expert.

So your Real Name is Scott Steven Davidoff. -Do you also want my Jewish name? OK. What is it? Mine's Chaim Mordechai Darvick.

I am reading the question you are asking over and over and I come up with the answer, I give up, should they?
Also please before you post your answers and reaserch, use spell-check.
