Without a doubt

A unique item featuring Rube Waddell's T206 portrait card that is 114 years old (give or take). The card has had only three owners during that span. Nelson Tisdel stamped and signed the reverse. (#1). The second owner Gordon Soutter obtained the card from the Tisdel family in the 1940s. He followed Nelson's lead and signed the reverse. (#2). I found the card on eBay and spoke with Gordon's wife wanting to know if they owned other Tisdel/Soutter cards. If they did, I was prepared to purchase them. She wouldn't give me a direct answer and merely answered "We only sell on eBay". I had already purchased the card and when it arrived, I decided to add my signature as the third owner. (#3) This scan predates my signature, but I will try to find a more recent scan (probably in the Net54 Archives) and add it to this post. Provenance of this card cannot be disputed. Someday there will be a fourth owner. I hope he has a pen.

Here's my prior thread on this card, but alas the card must have been scanned before I signed it, but I was able to add a weak version below:
