From what I understand so many of his memorabilia pieces had questionable authenticity so I'm not sure that provenance proves anything. I don't know. It's hard to trust anything.

Perhaps I am mistaken but I believe the authenticity questions arise from so called game used jerseys and memorabilia Halper claimed to have gotten from players or their family. I don't remember hearing anything specific about general "memorabilia" that wasnt somehow attached to a player.

Yes, it was a few of the game-used items that were proven to be fakes. Some were very high end, such as a Joe Jackson Jersey... a rather high profile item.
![]() The vast majority of items in the auction were legit, but the bad uniforms in question were so broadly publicized that to many, it tainted the entire collection. I believe there was an issue with Ty Cobb's dentures as well (you can't make this stuff up). But in reality, most of the general memorabilia was fine, and about 90 - 95% of the game-used lots were as advertised. |

with whom to trade my signed Halper auction catalog. As for the percentages of real versus fake "stuff" I've heard 38% of all statistics are off. In the art world (stamps too and maybe others) there are collectors that collect "fakes". They do that knowingly. I think Barry got taken more than most due to his overwhelming need to acquire so much actually unattainable memorabilia.
