In theory. However all it takes is a skilled forger and an incompetent third party authenticator for that only known t206 Speaker to be one of 10 or one of 20.
We all know many of the signed vintage cards coming to market as of late are fake.
And this is where the seasoned collector will say that they can spot the fakes and wouldn't buy one. True. But the two person bidding war is less likely to happen when one of those people already has purchased a semi convincing fake and is no longer in the market.
The vintage signed card market is on a bubble due to baby boomers with money having fun. And it is going to burst.
