I am in no means defending what shelly did in the past. But we all know some sort of crooks, whether it's taking an extra mint at a restaurant or stealing millions of dollars from the unknowing public. I'm not condoning what was done, but he's just the one that got caught. I'd put a poll that most dealers, prob 8-10, would not throw away a fake auto they paid more than $200 on. The problem is once these fakes are identified, there not destroyed by psa or jsa or the FBI... I'm only a beginner but can spot at least 20 fake mantles on eBay. Wtf where is someone policing this! From what I can dig up it sounds like the FBI is going to be making another round or two at this problem. I'm actually reallly glad I started looking for a mantle ball because I see a golden opportunity to unite all collectors and destroy all the fakes and make this business boom again with legite autographs of the publics favorite sports figures... There's no more room for crooked people in this business
