Hi,

If you're one of the many Net54 collectors that has grown disgruntled with the autographed pre-war card market, it would be hard to blame you. If you spent your hard earned money on autographed cards, no one could fault you for thinking that you've been hung out to dry by third-party authenticators that missed the boat. Perhaps you are worried about whether the cards have any value left, and maybe there is good reason to worry.

While the boat may be sinking, there is still one person - me - willing to buy a ticket for the ride. In particular, I am looking for any signed pre-war cards that were certified by SGC, JSA, PSA or Beckett prior to 2015.

If you'd like to divest yourself of your signed T206 (or other pre-1915) cards please feel free to contact me at SignedT206@gmail.com

Ask me about my policy of trying to "reimburse" you for the price you paid to buy the card, if you bought it at auction prior to 2015.

The signed T206 scandal is a problem for our hobby, but it no longer has to be your problem. Make it my problem. I may just pay you for the privilege!
