 I know there are a few people on here that are friends with him...
 
 Thanks

 FYI, David Slomer is a good friend of mine and is currently suffering from various Liver complications.  I spoke to him last week and he is hanging in there.  To make matters worse, someone on eBay just ripped him off for approx. $20K by trading him a FAKE PSA 6 '52 Topps Mantle for a Joe Jackson SGC 40/3 rookie card!  They cracked open the PSA holder, slipped in a fake Mantle and resealed it.  I am trying to assist Dave in finding the culprit but they have totally disappeared from eBay.  Absolutely disgusting, especially considering what Dave is going through right now with his poor health.  I will try and keep you updated as to how his condition progresses.
Best Regards,
