What if a Signed T206 Wagner Surfaced?

[Sean]

I actually own a signed T206 Wagner, except that:
1- It's a reprint;
2- It's not signed by Wagner. I had Wayne Gretzky sign it for me about 15 years ago.

Sorry to get us off- topic.

I would feel bad if one of them surfaced, I would hate for our good friend T206collector to have a heart attack.

I think a signed T206 Wagner might sell for less than the same card unsigned.

Signed by Anne Frank . . .

What do you mean?! I have one...

I would love to see the Provenance of the signed Wagner card. Plus, what other cards were found with it, if any.

Probably:

1960 Fleer "Baseball Greats" signed by Babe Ruth

1961 Topps #405 "Gehrig benched after 2,130 games signed by Lou Gehrig

1976 Topps "All Time All Stars signed by Honus Wagner

T205 Addie Joss signed by Addie

I thought this first as well. But then I figured that the type of person shelling out untold millions for a Wagner would likely have the ego to want to be the only one to have an example like this as opposed to being one of fifty or so people who have a normal one.

I was thinking the same thing...Call me strange, but I’d prefer an unsigned example.

I am not picky.. I'll take one signed or unsigned!

Have to disagree as long as the auto was legit without questions.

A singular example of a signed version of the most important card in the hobby? With all the competition of graded cards and registry listings, this 1/1 would be the non pareil of baseball cards.

If PSA authenticates the auto, I'm in.

By the way, is there such a thing as a trimmed autograph?

[JollyElm]

You mean like this?

Of course, a signed card would end any truth to the story of his wanting nothing to do with the card due to tobacco concerns.
