fkwIm surprised at how crazy this post got.
I thought that card was a $2K to $3K card at best. Shows how much I know.
Wish I would have picked up all the signed T206 cards I used to see in those 1985-90s auctions.
It seems like every single auction house (pre eBay) had one or two signed T206's, and sometime big (tough sig) names like Waddell, Mathewson, Cobb, Young, etc. I dont have time now to go through all my catelogs (I have over 80 packed away from my move).
Here are 2 scans from a San Francisco auction house I used to drive to and bid/watch all the time (Wolffers). Thought you might want to see them. I'll scan all the others when I finally get around to unpacking my books etc. and show them next time this gets brought up.
PS.Sorry to hear the deal didnt go through. Ive had it happen a couple times and know how it feels to a smaller degree.
