I know this guy was not legit, but as a public service to future "finders" of baseball memorabilia:
If you discover the most famous baseball card (T206 Honus Wagner) and the most famous baseball letter (the FDR "green light" letter) in a storage unit/cigar box/under some linoleum then they are reprints. If you discover a beat up T206 Heinie Wagner with writing on the back and a note from someone's mom asking if her son could be excused from gym class because of a broken toe, then they are real.
