Not sure anyone has seen this? ESPN counterfeiters video Greg Marino

[RichardSimon]

The crooked ebay sellers who peddled this sh-- were way too many to count.
I can remember tangling with many of them, even an Army Lieutenant, and eventually had to sue one of them, who had slandered me, and beat him out of a nice sum of money.
A ton of Mantle and Williams and Joe D. stuff is still out there and is offered to me regularly by naive (?) owners.
Marino was very weak on the vintage stuff. Though many of those were also sold on ebay at "bargain" prices.

Agreed. The sheer volume the team was pumping out is mind boggling. I truly feel for anyone who purchased items they felt were legit. I thank my lucky stars for sticking to my guns and deciding early on to only get items signed in person. Over the years, that stance has softened a bit but not for top tier players.

Great video!

Very talented man...his painting were pretty decent. Sad to see his talents go in a bad direction. Mind blowing, the amount of fake crap unloaded into the marketplace.

His father, Angelo, was the sports litho artist.

Heh. I immediately ordered the book from Amazon last night after watching that segment. Couldn't find it on eBay for less and nobody on Amazon has it for cheap so it must be a hard book to come by.
