T206 tannehill with f stamped on back

Does this guy have anything to do with the author of the Great Gatsby? I was just on Amazon.com looking for the Great Gatsby because it is one of the books I have to read during the school year and the author is F. Scott Fitzgerald. Any correlations?

Same guy. Amazing book....one of my favorites.

Yes Waz, this is the same F. Scott Fitzgerald that we are discussing.

By the way, I had to read Gatsby my junior year also (1973). Some things don't change I guess.

Congrats on the Factory 649 pick up.

Anyone know about how many if the fitz cards there are in circulation???

I have not seen any evidence to support that these were Fitzgerald's cards. Everyone seems to refer back to JC's cryptic post in April 2008 where he stated that someone told him that Harold Shigley bought over 1000 baseball cards from the estate sale.
Dr. Cy's original response to JC's post was , "Is this an April Fools joke?" and the answer was simply, "No, it's true!" with no further evidence.

I would like to know if these were owned by Fitzgerald. Maybe someone can find the old hobby publication that JC said he thought might have written an article about the subject. Otherwise, as it stands, it all sounds like a mythical tale like Noah gathering up the animals 2 x 2.

I'm sure you didn't mean to offend anyone so I took the liberty of fixing this post for you.

Thank Tucker

Tucker...i think that it is "accepted" that these were owned by FSF is all youre gonna find...best case scenario...and that there is fairly strong demand. If debunked youre left with a t206 with a mark?!
