I guess you can consider yourself lucky that you were focusing on them before most others , you have a beautiful collection.

Thanks for the thoughts and the nice words, Clayton. I really love to share my collection online at Net54 and on my website. On the upside, it helps me find signed T206s that I might want to acquire. On the downside, collectors learn more about this little niche of collecting and demand goes up.

While as a potential future seller I would like to think signed T206 Marquards are worth over $1,000, as a current prospective buyer I am going to keep my fingers crossed that this was an aberration!

You're welcome- and thank you for making your collection available for collectors to view; that's what makes this hobby fun. I don't have a website, but I do keep my collection available for viewing to board members under my profile in the "album" section (this is a great feature of Net54 !!). My collection isn't all that, just a work in progress that will likely go on for 20+ years .

Sincerely, Clayton

Yea I was shocked at how much this went for. This went for almost 7x as much as what I paid for my signed Marquard, granted it isn't as nice.

The one that sold last night is pretty darn ugly.

Agreed. Collectors tend to prefer a nice steel tip fountain pen, or even a standard ball point. This looks to be a felt tip pen.

Here's mine -- same SGC grade, but the signature is much clearer as it is a steel tip fountain pen. This was my first ever signed T206 card:

STOOPID money (...tm dk). means to me you've been doing a good job getting collectors interested in signed t206s OP

but seriously, STOOPID money. you could've had a marquard plus a couple other signed t206s from paul just a couple months back on the bst.

also agreed sig is not very clean either.

Well both beat mine lol:

+1 T206Collector has created a fair amount of autographed T206 *buzz* over the years.

Hey Brent,

There is a thread on the Memorabilia side on ACE finally landing on ebay's banned list. Any thoughts?

You are still a contractor for Justin, right?

Certainly don't mean to derail this thread. Rather, just an invitation if you have not seen the tread.

Hey, no I'm not involved with ACE anymore. I don't know why I'm still on the site. I only certified a few players, but saw all of these fakes being certified and just stopped.

Marquard is easily the most plentiful T206 star player signature. His signature is not hard at all to find. However, I have seen his signed baseballs go for good prices, so the object matters apparently.
