Haha, yeah, unfortunately I'm STILL learning that lesson. I picked up a raw 52 Bowman Larry Doby for a good price at a card show last year, and I even checked the back. However, the lighting was pretty dim at that booth, and after getting the card outside in the sunlight, it clearly had been signed by "Kevin" lightly in pencil
