Mantle fake?

These photos bring back memories from trips to Las Vegas. My work took me Vegas often and within 30 minutes checking into the hotel I would head over well know card store on strip. I bought a ton of stuff from them , the items were well framed and the autographs were in clear blue sharpie. One time I told them I was looking for a Mays autograph and before I went home they had one in stock. What luck . I was walking near the store the day it was raided by the FBI.


The good news thanks to a helpful San Diego FBI agent I received all my money back via court settlement from the seller.

The were all Greg Marino forgeries

Lesson learned.

That FBI raid on that store was either televised live or in a news story about the raid. I remember seeing it on TV. The owner of the store was whimpering like a little baby when the Feds hauled off all his crap.

The store was Smokey's in Nevada.

Between New York and Monte Carlo casinos using present day landmarks

The staff was so friendly
