As a side note.... the vast majority of Halper's stuff was good. A very few of the more visible/noteworthy pieces were mis-represented, and those items have received all of the publicity/infamy.
But those tainted uniforms/autographs actually represent a miniscule percentage of the overall Halper collection.

Thanks Mark. Still, I was very nervous about comparing the glove in this pic with my glove - it was obvious that it has been cleaned up since the '62 photo, and some stitching has broken, but the pocket was unmistakeable, much to my relief. The glove came with a letter from Halper, describing his acquiring it from Feller, and also with a signed note from Feller. The provenance was good, but this pic was huge - I really owe Mike a huge favor, and hopefully I can repay it at some point.
