Just a short-short story about a signed T206 lot I once saw.

In 2001, this gentlemen on eBay sold nine T206's with signatures on them. The signatures were noted in the description as 'a young kid writing the names on the front'.

The Hall Of Famers were Rube Waddell, Iron Man McGinnity, Miller Huggins, Jimmy Collins and Frank Chance. The lot sold for I believe $110 (the cards were hammered).

So what do you think happened next? The winning bidder sold them individually as 'being authentic' and tripled his money. Tripled his money?

Those five Hall Of Famers broken up in a Mastro catalog would probably bring in more than $4K!
