The good news thanks to a helpful San Diego FBI agent I received all my money back via court settlement from the seller.
The were all Greg Marino forgeries
Lesson learned.

That FBI raid on that store was either televised live or in a news story about the raid. I remember seeing it on TV. The owner of the store was whimpering like a little baby when the Feds hauled off all his crap.
