In light of T206 fiasco...

Such information is readily available. Just start collecting scans from old auctions or from catalogs.

We've brought this up before regarding Goudeys and... crickets. No one wants to piss off the big AH's that keep recycling these things. And most collectors are also afraid of bad-mouthing the TPA's that won't give them a re-look.

Too much money being threatened, and too many collection gaps needing filled. Black ball me, but you guys are the root of the problem.

I am one of those in the goudey camp, but am limited to just 1934s, which have not seen a particularly big jump in the number of cards out there like the 33's. It has taken me 38 yrs to collect 80 different cards.

I do have concerns as we all should. If anyone finds any of mine unsigned versions somewhere, I would appreciate them giving me a heads up. I freely admit to not being perfect and am always willing to hear from knowledgeable people.

Mark, I don't think it's that difficult - you can be quite imperfect and still have an unadulterated collection. I'm sure you are fine.
