Hoak died in 1969 priced now at $350, us_caine sold a fake for 70$, no others have come to market
Spooner now priced at $300, very weak one sold for $229, no others have come to market since the other one in worse shape I sold for $300

Yes and no. The February before last, and again last summer at around this time, Jim Stinson put up a huge lot of signed 53s, and I was surprised at how low a lot of the tough signers and high numbers went. Then in December, he put up a trio of tough ones (Hoak, Drews, Hal Rice) and they all sold at or above what I was expecting.
Edit: It might have had something to do with the number of cards he had; the first two times, he had a few dozen cards listed; the third time it was just the three.
