I found thecead after I posted this, thank you though, it's a great resource.
Just for fun I them looked on eBay, and found very clearly the same thing that had sold for $47. It was advertised as the real thing. Do stated secretarials have any value? I was planning on throwing them away, it would think if I sell them honestly to a dishonest person they eventually go back in the pool of fakes.
Except is some very limited cases (Neil Aspinall, Lugosi's wife, Gleason 1950 perhaps, certainly some others), secretarial signatures have no real value to anyone other than a hardcore collector of memorabilia.

Well, I came here to avoid selling fakes, having found this site.......I love the hobby, I'm more interested than I want to be, but I have two expensive hobbies already:-)
I've actually thrown away or defaced (baseballs, but I gave them to my neighborhood kids to use), items based on what I've been told here, I think I'll continue that with the secretarials. That way nothing of mine pollutes your pool.
