As many of you know, I collect autographed T206 cards, so I have a lot of saved searches that involve players who I know signed T206 cards, e.g., Rube Marquard.
I have to tell you, every morning I get soooooooooo many new eBay listings for Marquard signed things -- hardly ever T206 cards, but quite often 3 x 5s, or 70s Grand Slam, or cuts, or whatever. It is hard for me to believe that anyone in their right mind would actually pay more than a few dollars for anything signed by him, unless the medium was rare.
Interestingly, as many signed Marquard things that are out there, there are even more Smokey Joe Wood and Edd Roush items. But the funny thing about them is that while their signatures are extremely common, I never, ever get an alert on a signed pre-war card of either of them. I'll get a dozen new listings every week, but never on a signed pre-war card.
