It could be real. Indiana's close to Chicago too. I'm sure there's a good number of Indiana families with ancestors from Chicago.

As noted it's pick up-only, which has positives and negatives for the buyer.

The father of a local woman I met obtained a 1930s autograph lined notebook at a Seattle Goodwill where he worked. Signatures included Ruth, Throrpe, Foxx, Walter Johnson and many, many more. There were perhaps over 200 signatures. She consigned it through Mastro and, as I recall, it sold for something $7,000. I looked at the notebook in person before she consigned it. The father had gotten it a good number of years earlier, though. Not a recent find.
