Yup, I think that's the winner. And it isn't over. As more and more card issues are proven affected, that might be the one that changes autograph collecting as a whole.

agreed...gotta be that thread...question is...will we ever find out who the guilty party(parties) are...or will this just disappear as has usually happened in the past when scandalous behavior is proven?

I think it is sad that the “best thread” of the past year would be the signed T206 scandal.

Not a thread where new information about the cards we care about or a new set being discovered but a thread about some a**hole forging cards.

Also, enough with the cloak and dagger crap, who is doing this. I see NO benefit in keeping the entire hobby in suspense, there could be other fraud that has been perpetrated by the guilty party that is still being passed down the line by other collectors/dealers. If I have done business with the guilty party I want to know that. The suspense reeks of self-importance by those “in the know”

I really hope a name is released by someone. While I understand investigations are ongoing, it would also be nice to have that info public, to prevent further purchasing, selling, and allow everyone to review their own collections accordingly
