I did not save a picture of it but about 20 years ago, I bought a 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle with a rookie era autograph on Ebay for $1000.

To be clear, it was an early graded GAI 2 but for those who remember the early days of GAI, they also had Mike Guiterrez as their autograph authenticator.

The autograph was deemed authentic by GAI.

I got it in my hands a week or so later and relisted it for $2000. It immediately sold.

It has never resurfaced over the last 20 years but in the recent REA auction, a similar condition card with an autograph from Mickey's card show era with his familiar signature sold for $210K.

Wonder who has it in their collection? One day it will arise and I will recognize it.
