Just asking.

And now we're getting somewhere. I certainly do not like the fact (if true) that an authenticator for these companies is selling one of these autos. That is what i would term a conflict of interest at bestn and a formula for printing money at worst.

I can't offer any opinion on the signature, but interestingly, a 1970s Putnam Sports Shelf bio on Cobb features the photo of Simmons

Wow! That's very interesting. Thanks for posting the book, Max.

Sorry, I posted the Simmons HOS photos from my ipad and it wasn't as big as it is on my work monitor. If anyone can resize it, that would be great. Thanks.
