Scott- I once owned a genuine Candy Cummings twice signed letter- it was a beauty with baseball content. His signature does look something like the one CC has, so somebody else has seen the signature before too.

Yeah, but you sir had a GENUINE signed letter. That's amazing. Id think if I ever got rich, Id love to collect 19th century autographs, memorablia and letters, etc, as I find that time fascinating in our game's development

But, unless CC found this "cut" in a huge lot, as they have AT LEAST four Mathewsons that I saw, Plus ANOTHER Mike King Kelly cut, from the Double C find of a few months back.

I just found the photocopy I have of the letter and the "W.A" is all wrong on the CC example. Unfortunately, a fake.

Scott,

Was the title of this thread a reference to the Grateful Dead song?

One of my favorite Dead tracks. Notable in that the non-word "wantedest" was invented for its composition.

...and another J.J McGinnity. Neither of the ones last month fetched even $200. But my favorite of all, are the FIVE Christy Mathewson autographs this month, which is much even for them. The best is the single signed baseball where they say that "the return policy is in effect" and that it has not been authenticated, but if you want, they can get it authenticated for you. I wonder which authenticating firm/s they will use? Hmmmmmm...

Bit of poetry in this crooked pitch from CC? Pity the screwball who bites.

C'mon now, I am sure the crack authenticating team had any number of examplars in their binders.
