I just watched the show.
And while Marino did do a better job on Mantle forgeries then the other Mantle forgers out there (those guys were a joke, the big loops in M shook like crazy) the Ruth forgeries were awful. And Wayne Bray's aging of baseballs was visible, to me and any experienced collector or dealer from 50 feet away. The fake aging was an open joke to dealers, collectors and authenticators who knew what they were doing. Shame of it is, is that those balls are still out there and I still see them bought and sold.
