A bit O/T and probably should go in the memorabilia side, but fantastic article relating to Ty Cobb, Al Stump and Barry Halper. It's a longgggg read, so close the office door and grab a cappuccino. It will be well worth it!

And for those that like to know the end of a movie before watching it, here is the conclusion (and I quote....)
"There is no doubt that Al Stump is a proven liar, proven forger, likely thief, and certainly a provocateur who created fabricated and sensationalized stories."
Ouch! Nice words to have on your tombstone.
My thoughts on the article run in a different direction. It appears that Barry Halper knew he had some bogus stuff in his incredible collection, but he did not seem to care
