I know... I know.... so you keep reminding me!
Fortunately -- for my own peace of mind, if nothing else -- nearly all of my collection is traceable to 2 large collections of post-1950s signed T206 cards. In fact, many of my cards come directly from Jeff Morey, whom I have had the privilege of knowing these past couple of years. And most of the balance came from what I refer to as the "2007 Pittsburgh Find," where a well-known area collector's autograph collection was basically dumped into the hands of a couple of Pennsylvania dealers and flipped quickly on ebay or directly to me. I do the best I can on provenance and authenticity before purchasing examples outside of these realms. But I won't be adding any Addie Joss signed T206 cards to my collection anytime soon!
