That reminds me of an older episode of Sanford and Son I saw a few years ago, where a friend of Red Fox's son wanted to make something he did up to Red, so he gave him a Jackie Robinson autographed ball (this was probably in about 1974, so only a few years after Jackie died), but when Sanford looked at the ball a few hours later he realized the name was spelled "Jacky" and that the guy had just scribbled the name on the ball thinking nobody would know. Only episode of Sanford and Son I have ever labored through, but it was pretty funny. Sounds like the same type of thing going on here. I wonder how many people did something like this innocently in the past and now own a worthless family heirloom.
