Forgery Help Needed

Hi Guys,

A while back, there was some discussion on fake pieces hitting the market and one person, if I can recall, seemed to come to mind. I was wondering if anyone knew a name?

The reason that I'm asking is that I just received a piece (a beer piece however) that I really have some bad feelings on. To makes this worse, the seller (who is actually a very nice guy) sent me pics of two more pieces he picked up. All three I have never seen before but things are not adding up on them. What really sucks is that two of them have objects printed on them which I think came directly from the items we have that are pictured in our beer book we put out a while ago. They actually look like they were printed over the existing item.

This fellow says he picked them up from a guy selling items at a flea market in OHIO. I couldn't recall, but that somehow sounded sickenly familiar with the bogus baseball stuff that's been hitting the market.

Any recollections?

Thanks in advance.

Greg
