I heard rumors that the Chance T206 may not be legit...

Yes, that is why I added my caveat at the end there. I don't know either way, and it is tough to authenticate such rare autos.

There was actually a thread about it here previously.

With regards to authentic Frank Chance autographs , I have personally only purchased and sold TWO in nearly 35 years ! One was a multi signed banquet program and the other a document , they were sold SO long ago that I don't even have copies of them left on hand.

By all means AVOID CUTS !!!! unless they have rock solid provenance. Have seen dozens of bad ones over the years. There were some very nice Frank Chance letters that sold probably 12 years ago but even then sold for more than several thousand dollars each

Keep in mind , he's a VERY rare Hall of Fame member in extremely high demand who died in 1924 ...Almost 90 years ago ! So will be VERY tough to find and VERY expensive. So much so that if you handed me a blank check and told me "Find one , Sky is the limit" it could be months if not years before I could accomplish the task.

Jim, was this by chance the banquet program that you handled?

And here is one sweet letter. 10K seems about right to me.

No the banquet program I sold was not that one , the one I sold had some type of local or minor league affiliation and was for a dinner in his honor It was only signed by about a dozen attendees including Chance. The letters I was referring to that I remember being sold were ALS not TLS
