Did you really get it from Feller? .
Feller used to have an elderly friend(?) who might have been his agent, I was never sure. The guy traveled the card show circuit with Feller. I did not know his real name but because he wore a ten gallon hat everyone called him "The Cowboy." He would cruise the show rooms asking autograph dealers if they wanted to buy some autographs,, "I have Maris, etc." was his line. If he got a positive response from a dealer he would then go out to his car and return to the room with his autographs. I never saw him return to the room with one authentic autograph. Dealers in the room would approach my table and ask me if "this item which just walked in" is authentic. I don't think he had much luck peddling his crap but he was closely connected to Feller. I saw him at several local NYC shows and one year at a National.
