Man oh man, do I feel stupid? I had no idea the Halper Collection was so full of fakes. Where have I been?



At least, I DID know what a fake Al Stump was.

I collect Baseball cards exclusively, so I guess I haven't noticed the goings on in the memorabilia market.

Once again, I have learned from the input of other board members...and I thank you for that.

Thanks for sharing, I haven't seen the collection in years and it has certainly grown. Up until recently it's been hard to get a view of this elusive and unparalleled collection, although it has been in this museum since 2008. It's a bit surprising that so many were not aware of this collection, and I had no idea, or did not recall, the amazing extent of the cards collection.

When it first opened it was only open to the general public for about a year before closing to limited viewing for corporate and private events. I understand it costs Gary a fortune to operate it, and it is certainly not an income generator. Now once again open to the public on weekends, I imagine the modest admissions fee barely covers much of the cost to operate.

You could even maybe remove the Private, ...possibly best collection in the world, period. Hard to compare to other museums or the HOF, because its so broad covering many sports. (and as pointed out no comparison to Halper's...Gary's is much larger and not completely bogus).

looks like some painting from a fellow board member made their way into the collection. Amazing collection there

Forget about the jerseys and the other sport stuff, the collection of baseball cards alone is stunning. I don't think I've ever seen that much 19th century stuff in one place. Yes, however - please fix those Cracker Jacks!

Went today and was blown away. All I can say is WOW!!! The baseball cards were beyond belief and uniforms galore. My favorite was a 1915 Yankesss uniform worn by Roger Peckinpaugh seen below. I have a picture from 1917 with my Great Great uncle Elmer Miller wearing the exact same uniform.

It's truly an amazing experience.

But don't be at all surprised if many of Halper's former items are included in the Cypres collection. Even though some prominent Halper items were proved to be fakes, the vast majority of his memorabilia was authentic. There is without a doubt, some former Halper stuff in there.
