One thing to keep in mind is that in 1910, collecting baseball autographs were not a "thing" so every signed T206 card would had to have been signed fifty years after it was made or later. With Goudey cards, collecting baseball autographs had become a pretty big and wide spread hobby among kids so collecting them was not only a possibility, it WAS happening. I have seen probably a couple hundred signed Goudey and Play Ball cards over the years from vintage collections, glued in scrapbooks etc. that I know are legit. I am sure some are forged with the money that is out there, but it is not like the T206 thing where probably 10 or less are real and they are all guys who lived until the 1960's at least.
