Fantastic article. Great thinking and pickup by that collector. You have to think there has to be more out there with his signature.

Nice. I can see the scammers practicing their 'Moonlight Graham' signatures as we speak and adding the Chisolm yearbooks to their eBay searches....along with the rest of you. Good luck guys.
