The best story I have has been told before. (http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=147783)

Mr. Waddell was first owned by Nelson Tisdel, who stamped and signed the back of this card. It stayed in the Tisdel family and was passed on to his son. In the early '40s Tisdel's son had a trading partner who traded T206s. Mr. Waddell was traded to Gordon Soutter, who also signed the card. Mr. Soutter kept the card for 70 years, until a lady in Utah sold the card on eBay. I purchased the card on eBay and was curious enough to ask the seller if she knew who Gordon Soutter was. She was kind enough to reply "I know him well. He's my husband." She also provided the details of the trade that her husband made to obtain the card in his childhood.

Bingo. Provenance established. Tisdel to Tisdel to Souttar to Burke++.

This is the one I will keep in the family for another 70 years.
