Day 156
This next item is one I was burned on in my earlier days collecting Roberto. I purchased it off eBay in the mid 90s, framed it myself, and had it in my collection for a few years before I realized the signature was no good. One day I was looking at some of my Clemente items and noticed that the facsimile signature on the 1971 Arco photo matched the signature on my signed piece. I kept it as a reminder to be more careful when purchasing RC signatures. Over the past 20-plus years, I feel as though I have become much more competent in determining authentic signatures.
