If anyone is interested in Eddie Grant I wrote a story about him here: http://infinitecardset.blogspot.com/...orial-day.html

A very well written story. Thanks for sharing.

Some of the T205 autographs are the real deal, others were "secretarial" but is almost all cases they were attempting to duplicate the real signature so you cant take them as 100% authentic but even when they are not dead on, they are close. For what its worth, the GRANT signature on his T205 IS the real deal and that is what I was refering to.

Having compared them, I believe the example from the book to not be authentic.
