Florida Pawn Shop
I thought this may be interesting. I am in Tampa Florida visiting family. One of my favorite pass- times is visiting Pawn Shops and Flea Markets. The Mays, Mantle Photo along with Ali were in the same Pawn Shop. The Mantle, Mays caught my attention.
After a close inspection the ickey didn’t look right, the M looked good and the Mantle looked real good. I pulled out my exemplars noticed the difference immediately. Turned the photo over, YMC cert. Price $125.00. The Ali signature looked to clean and the LOOP in the H was a tip off. Price $100.00 no cert. The Joe Dimaggio Is a flea market Item. The Vendor told me he buys them from a guy who gets them from China. I liked it as a novelty, paid $5. Interested in knowing the name of the forger who did the Mantle
