FS: Signed T206 Jennings, McGraw, Cicotte

[Jasonxmay]

DISCLOSURE: These three cards have all been rejected by PSA.

With that said, I believe that there is at least a high likelihood they are authentic or I would not be selling them. As many of you know, I recently sold my collection of vintage signed baseball cards through PWCC and REA. I'm still stumbling across items that I had forgotten about, and these were included in that category.

I am asking $3,000 for the lot of three. I purchased the Eddie Cicotte from Jon Canfield in 2013 - and before anyone throws any dispersions at Mr. Canfield, I bought it as is and he disclosed that it might not pass a TPA. The Jennings and McGraw were purchased from another board member who I won't name since he is a collector and not a dealer. However, I will say that member informed me that he purchased the cards at a card show in the late 1980s at a time when forging T206 cards wouldn't have been profitable.

If any of these three pass authentication, then this asking price will look like an absolute steal. I would resubmit myself, but I'm out of the game and I'd rather not jump back in. This could be a bargain for anyone who is inclined to gamble a bit. If no one wants to pay $3,000, I'll put them back in the safe where they have been stored. Thank you for looking.

This earlier post suddenly is a lot more interesting to read now than it was before. To the would-be seller: Kudos on your prior disclosure. Any additional thoughts on these cards in light of recent developments?

I will say this about Jason...I have always found his character to be impeccable. IF these cards are indeed found to be fake - it’s my sincere belief that he never knew any different. May I never be forced to eat these words.

Best

As a former owner of the Cicotte, I got the card in probably 2010 - best guess from memory, but it wasn't a quick flip to Jason. The person I received it from is someone I have known since I was a young kid, and his general focus in pre-1950 baseball cards, and not autographs per se. I recall the Cicotte being in his collection for many years prior to my acquiring it.

Jason,

A link to this thread was posted in the main thread for the forged T206 cards that have been identified. I"d have to believe that if those were purchased in the 80s then that has got to be a positive. Pretty sure that any TPG would be afraid to authenticate either the McGraw or the Jennings just due to the fact that the year of death for both was such a long time ago. I honestly like the way the Jennings looks.
