TV Show About Sports Autograph Fraud on Friday
TruTV (Channel 43, Time Warner East Coast) has a show called Masterminds which will air an episode entitled "Foul Ball" at 3 P.M on Friday, February 12th.
This episode looks at autograph fraud and those who flooded the market for five years before Operation Bullpen caught them and shows you how these guys did it and how they got away with it. Saw it a few months ago, very interesting show. DanC |

I had never heard of that channel before so I assumed we didn't get it...wrong! Just found it and set the DVR. Thanks for the heads-up!

It used to be CourtTV, but it seems live broadcasts of court cases really aren't that riveting to viewers. And once Nancy Grace left, well, they needed a new angle.

I just watched it... a little too slickly produced, and a bit superficial. And this guy made millions of dollars, ratted on his friends, and only got six months in prison. Sounds like crime does pay.

I just watched the show.
And while Marino did do a better job on Mantle forgeries then the other Mantle forgers out there (those guys were a joke, the big loops in M shook like crazy) the Ruth forgeries were awful. And Wayne Bray's aging of baseballs was visible, to me and any experienced collector or dealer from 50 feet away. The fake aging was an open joke to dealers, collectors and authenticators who knew what they were doing. Shame of it is, is that those balls are still out there and I still see them bought and sold. --
