There was a Roy Campanella signed baseball

From the early 1950's which he inscribed to a doctor and that one kept making the rounds as well. The doctor was the brother of a leading Brooklyn political figure so I would suspect the signature was good -0- but I swear it was sold at least four times between 2005 and June 2007 all from "good" auction houses.

My speculation; which is worth the paper I'm typing this on; is that there were probably hidden reserves on the ball each and every time. Or that the buyer had a friend put bids on for him/her. And of course; there could actually have been four different transactions -- but I remember seeing that ball for the fourth time in that 18 month period and wondering why I kept seeing the same signed baseball.

I wonder how often that holds true for these cards as well
