Todd,
Thank you for your willingness to share your knowledge regarding these issues. I only have a few and IMO that is one of my biggest knowledge gaps. I get that it can be frustrating to see thread after T206 thread (I'm a Cuban collector so I may get a few more posts, but probably not many more), but it is always refreshing to see an expert opine on less commonly discussed issues. Best, Kenny

Thanks for the kind words. One clarification about pricing and then I'll let this one go unless there are more questions. I mentioned that Heritage just auctioned off three of Leon's block-letter Gimbels for over $500 each; more accurately, the lot (with the low-grade common italicized example for completeness) went for over $1500.00. Since two of these were graded authentic, it's likely the one that received the numeric grade significantly drove the auction--perhaps by 2/3 or more of the lot price. We may never know, but I didn't want to leave any mis-impressions that all block-lettered Gimbels are valued about the same.
Finally, please indulge me to show one of mine- a small block HOFer:
