OK, story time. I started card collecting in 1990, while stationed in Crete , Greece, I was in the Air Force. Eating cereal, Post was putting baseball cards in cereal boxes.
Anyways, I found out one of my coworkers collected baseball cards too. He and I bought some 1990 or 1991 Upper Deck boxes through the mail. One night I was at his house looking at his cards in binders. That year Upper Deck had a Reggie Jackson insert seat that he was trying to complete. He had them in a binder, I while looking them over the facsimile auto of Reggie looked different to me on one of the cards. And it had numbering on the front below the signature. I was so new to the hobby, but I figured out this was a real Autograph. He didn't believe me, even over the new ten minutes of me trying to convince him. So I said, OK, I will buy this card for a $1. Now he believed me. Cool story for me.
