Fake Signed T206 Cards (Too Many to List in the Title, See First Post for List)

Dunno...it will be interesting to see as this unravels if this trickles down to chase cards/auto cards in modern era sets distributed by the big guys like topps?

I would not be surprised for this forger to go to tough signers from way back when, like what us_caine does. Not necessarily stars, but guys who died young or just disappeared after they stopped playing. He doesn't get anywhere near what an authentic one would bring, but I've still seen him turn a $5 card into a $200+ card. This new guy evidently is a better crook than us_caine, so his payoff would be correspondingly higher.
