As records and music memorabilia become more and more valuable, with higher auction prices in particular, the compulsion to satisfy collector desires will be hard to resist for the unscrupulous. Unfortunately we’re still in a “Buyer Beware” market. The Wild West of music collecting will only be tamed by the acceptance of standards from professionals, perhaps organized into a dedicated non-profit group.
