I don't want to sound like a jerk, but I am one so. I've been to card shows since the 80's. 2 of my friends owned card shops from the 80's to the mid 90's. I can count on 2 fingers the amount of signed T206's I saw from 1000's of old cards. Now every auction recently you have your pick of old timers on every brand of card. Put your order in and boom it's signed. This huge signed card business was non existent, I mean zero, zero, zero interest because there just weren't enough out there. No one, not buyers, PSA, SGC, JSA questioned all this signed cards? No one? So since business was good they just kept making them. Sorry JMO.

Man, this is just a gut wrenching - throat punch to the hobby.
Really sad and pissed for all the T206 collectors out there that have been taken; selfishly hoping the issue is contained to the period, and from a relatively new forger. That said, I'm now feeling rather unsettled about the work I've been doing on my 39's (and glad I haven't added any in quite some time). I don't have many concerns over the authenticity on mine, mainly due to the duration I've owned them and the relatively low value of the guys (outside Williams, DiMaggio, Ott) - but no doubt this scandal, especially as it inevitably grows, knocks down demand and prices for all autos. Probably permanently. Clearly the forger(s) know enough to get the penmanship through the TPA's, only a matter of time-if not already here- that they do just a slightly "better" job of masking their efforts. I for one am probably out of the autograph game for good directly as a result of this. |

I am just getting caught up on all of this. I did not realize that I (sg713) sold some cards to the "forger."
I will check my ebay account, and hopefully come up with something, and update. |
