Mickey Mantle litho from Front Page Art, Marino forgery's FBI bullpen
Have a question about a Mickey Mantle item.
Here we have a Litho of him, signed by him. If you look at the "M's" there are clear start and stop points in them. It looks like a very bad attempt at his autograph. ALSO, the COA is from "FRONT PAGE ART" Angelo Marino and signed on the COA by John Marino ALL people named in the FBI bust. The family of forgery which was in the operation bullpen fbi bust. Can be seen here: http://sandiego.fbi.gov/bullpen/bullpen.htm number 2 after wayne bray: 2. John Marino, Gloria Marino, Kathleen Marino Assisted Forgers and Wholesalers, dba: a. Front Page Art Greg Marino, Angelo Marino Also, when contacted the Angelo Marino that does art said this item was not one of his. But the artist Angelo MAURO is might be the artist that need to be looked at as that person is the artist of the litho. HOW can this not be told to the owner when they question if it's a real item as they were worried about maybe having a fake. Last edited by Ringking; 04-16-2011 at 06:54 PM. |

To me, with all the knowledge about this item and the history of it, if you OK it and tell the person that they have a authentic item, you would be helping with the forgery industry, the autograph forgery industry.
Am I right or wrong? |

I've seen fakes hanging in people's dens or hobby rooms, and because I was not asked, I did not say a word.
If I was asked, or I thought they were thinking of selling the item, I would have to tell them the truth. |

It's not, it's a MARINO family fake. This is the litho that Marino forged a lot of Mickey's signatures on. But it got the stamp of approval from Steve Cyrkin. Who looks like the friend of forgery now... |

It's another loopy - swirl auto that looks good to any customer - send a scan to PSA/DNA QO. - see if it will pass - I think it has a chance - then post the results.

I never realized that Steve Cyrkin was an authority on baseball autographs.
Where is the COA he issued for this item? Can you please post it here?
