What are your thoughts on purchasing ungraded vintage cards? Do you avoid them all together? Do you have no problem buying them at BV? Or do you expect a discount when you purchase and ungraded single?

I guess I would grade the modern ones if they were known to have counterfeits (Elway RC for example). Of course there are guys peeling these thick modern cards apart and building 'supposed' high # cards and juicing people (can't think of any examples right-off hand).

On a sidenote, Does anyone know of a one-stop place, book, publication dedicated to counterfeits made? I've been catching blurbs here and there since the eighties on which ones were targeted, but over the years have forgotten the particulars on some .....

I'd be interested in that info as well. I used to be able to ring off all the telltales on the big counterfeits back in the day, but alas, my memory is not what it was.
