Jonathan Perryok this did not happen to me and does not concer vintage cards but it is a funny story so I thought I would share it.
I was at a function in NYC and Chris Martin was there (the son of Beatles producer George Martin.) Chris started telling a story how on the playground in elementry school kids would trade candy with each other. One day another student had some gum balls that Chirs really wanted. However Chris had no candy to trade, so he went into his school bag and pulled out this autographed picture signed by a "popular British band," as his father had told him.
Needless to say a young Chris Martin traded a signed photos by all 4 Beatles for a handful of gumballs. To this day Chris insists it seemed like a good idea at the time
