florida museum with autographed t206's

[milkit1]

Can anyone give me the name of the museum in Florida that has the signed t206's on display? There was a thread about this last year that I am having trouble finding. Im going to florida next week and would like to check it out

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

I lived in florida for years and never heard about this place.

Interesting, that is right down the road from me and I never knew it was there.

Just looked at the site. In the slide show presentation, the Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams autographed baseballs are forgeries, and not very good ones at that.

Yes, the Mantle in the slideshow is bad. One of the most common forgery styles, with all the items they have and collectors visiting, you would think that they would have been informed of at least the most obvious ones and pulled them.

Thanks! Is this close to Disney? I wanted to get pics of the signed t206s if I can

It is about 1 1/2 - 2 hour drive from Disney.

I think I have pics of some of them on my website. I got them off of their website. Pretty sure they're all not real.

What make you guys think the Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams autographed baseballs are forgeries?? May be I should have said, what make you guys think they have real autographs on any of their stuffs. That museum sounds like a crappy place to me. $12 admission??? I rather flip thru a REA catalog instead.

It's a very nice little museum; the sports component of it is extremely small, however. The vintage automobiles were incredible, and I'm not a car guy at all. When we visited, they had a da Vinci exhibit that was pretty cool too.

All said, we only spent 2-2.5 hours in the place... our hotel was only a few miles away from it.
