Simply put, is THE MAN. No one comes close to being the collector that Barry is. Barry collected as a youth, and for the most part as he became wealthier, he acquired more high dollar stuff. He came from a well-to-do family. His grandfather, owned a fleet of distributing trucks. Halper later became close personal friends with Joe DiMaggio, who was quite often, a regular at Barry's New Jersey home. his Southeby's Auction, generated 25 MILLION DOLLARS. His collection included nearly 1,000 game used jerseys,400 bats, EVERY baseball set EVER PRODUCED, as well as THOUSANDS of autographs,and pieces of memorabilia, and artifacts known to our game. His collection included 1,000 autographs of his favorite baseball player of all-time George Herman "Babe" Ruth. |
