Pretty much this. I work for a legal firm, and for a long time I thought it was client's telling fibs both ways, then I got some stuff where the envelope got caught in one of hte machines and wrecked whatever it was.
Anything valuable gets sent priority with a tracking number, which makes it hard to justify for most autograph stuff, but like jerseys and the like go cheapest in a flat rate envelope (because by G-d they fit so they ship), and iirc, they flat rate shipping has a built in barcode.
That said, remember that secretarials means that their secretary signs the thing for them - it's a disgusting habit, and I'd rather they just stamp it RTS than do that, but c'est la vie.
