Trimbles: 2012

Jim Trimble For Sale...Maybe Not.

This ebay seller is offering an Alouettes letter from Jim to a Mr. Dion for $99.00. The description of the sale reads:
Very rare and all original 1964 Jim Trimble Montreal Alouettes Signed CFL Letter. He was the head coach... Condition of the letter is EX + + and the signature is very clean and clear. Please note that this letter was signed by his secretary.
WHAT? So, it's 100 bucks to buy a " very rare & original," letter signed by Jim's secretary?
WOW! That's some profitable penmanship.
Here's a real Eagle's autograph currently being sold for $25.00:
