The total was: $21,812,573.

I've had the pleasure of talking to Halper on several occasions. It's been about six years and a newspaper article said that he could not be commented because his health wasn't good.

I never heard anything about the uniforms being fraudulent. Almost all the items were obtained in person (in the video, he traded Mattingly an actual game used Gehrig glove for a bat) or from the family members. He was persistent and back then, nobody put a dollar sign to anything. It was just 'junk'. It's amazing how things have changed. Try asking a player for their jersey today. Heck, try asking for their autograph.
