I could honestly watch this stuff all day. Such a great video. Wish it was longer though.

Clearly the forgeries have not stopped, but I don't think they are or may never again be at the same level the Marino operation operated at. I'm not sure how Coaches Corner continues to quite obviously offer up that crap and still skate. How long can you hide behind an "opinion" when it's rather obvious they are either making these items or they know who is doing it? There are smart people at the FBI, even they know that Matty, Josh Gibson and Joe Jackson weren't prolific signers.

In my opinion, the situation is worse and fakes are more prolific now.

The "Florida" forgery operation has pumped out huge quantities that dwarf what Marino did.

I watched the video and couldnt help but think that Marino could start up again if desperate enough. He doesn't much remorse for all the people he helped cheat.

He clearly can still do the signatures because they showed his hand doing lots of different sigs during that segment.

Are these the people selling the crap in Vegas and other tourist trap areas?

Yes... the ones that often come with the giant "forensic expert" holograms.

Gallery style tourist traps... antique shops... ebay wholesalers... they are everywhere.

Yes Steve, they are everywhere, like a communicable disease. They are all over ebay and they also drop ship boxes of crap to small town auctioneers, offering them large commissions to make sales.

Richard,Chris and I talked about the Florida ring. It is estimated that they have sold well over 25 million/ The interesting part about this is the FBI in Florida had it handed over to them from Arizona in a bow. They just walked a way from it.
