Default Lol!
Even with no skin in the hobby at all during that time I remember that post well. Thanks for finding it, glad the pic is still there.

Can someone shorthand the situation regarding John Rogers (and the old thread referenced here) for us not in the know?

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Cliff's Notes version:

Spent many years (decades?) forging and doctoring sports memorabilia and passing it off as the real thing. Then kept doing it when people got wise to the scheme. Then kept doing it even after a guilty plea. Currently serving 12 year prison sentence last I heard.

He's the guy that Doug Allen tipped off about wearing a wire which gave Doug a longer prison sentence than Bill Mastro.

Very interesting read!!

Although I have been back collecting almost 3 yrs now, it still amazes me when I read about the ugliness in this hobby that I naively didn't think existed.

I believe there was also an issue with him making huge purchases of legitimate photo archive collections and then not holding up his part of the deal in relation to the rights and financial obligations of those purchases.

Not having seen the show yet, I'm not sure what exactly he got pinched on though.

Last year, Mastro. This year, Rogers. Nominations for next year's trifecta?
