Well I do agree that a video like this may put three years in the people, it was mainly posted to educate people. A little bit of background on the lead forger in the biggest forgery wearing of all time in sports. I think it is interesting and educational to a degree and that's all I was trying to get out of it.

Listening to Marino talk you get the impression he thinks he was a victim
 He just wanted to see people happy.

He was pretty good at most of them, but his McGwire was atrocious. I actually was authenticating for several auction houses in 1999 after the story broke because PSA/DNA had not started and JSA only did vintage players. I was called by one house and a few others joined in.
Before the story broke I was really mad because I had collected a lot of McGwire signed items and did an auction after the 1998 season. The prices I got were very low because people saw the cheap forgeries and would not bid over the forgery prices. I was selling signed balls for maybe $100 before the story broke. Then afterward... woohoo. I got as much as $1200 for a nice signed ball because people just wanted to know it was legit. I like at the end when he says they put pride into it! LOL

I actually appreciated watching him execute the forgeries.
For anyone who has wondered what "deliberate and drawn" means, there ya go.

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.
