Don't You Hate Being Conned!

. . .I don't as long as it's this kind!

Conn Smythe - Maple Leafs Forever - Cut Autograph 1/1

Unfortunately, the BGS holder is a bit gnawed above gold card label (top edge). I'm waiting to hear back from ITG to see if they can reslab it for me.

Now. . . if I was a betting man. . . then I am thinking that the half of signature below Mr. Smythe's belongs to Bill Barilko. Anyone care to take a guess?

Thanks for looking. . . please drive safely!

Holy crap, Jay! Incredible sig!
It would be quite a shame if they did snip a Barilko sig. I can see the b and two loops in the l and k. Could be!

Sure you don't want to trade me that Beliveau now?

Very very nice Jayman!! Can't wait to see the next maildlay also..

WOW! I'm so excited. A new member on Beckett provided me a great lead as to where my Smythe cut autograph originated from. Apparently, it was from a 1936/37 Maple Leafs program that was signed and auctioned by Classic Collectibles. As you can see, my cut autograph contains parts of Frank "Buzz" Boll and Hap Day!

Wow! Nice detective work!

"Pep" Kelly? Is that the person we now know as "Red" Kelly?

Awesome detective work, Mr. Tracy. Flattop never stood a chance.

Jay go directly to the front of the line for the nicest pull of the year. Just an awesome card bud. Congrats hardly seems enough.

Dan - Thanks man. The hard part is that I have to send this card back to ITG for reslabbing. I'll be nervous as heck putting this in the mail.

Wes - It's not Red Kelly... it's Regis "Pep" Kelly. I guess the Leafs couldn't have two "Reds" on the same team... with Red Horner and all.
