Re: Barry Halper article in NY Post
the article strikes me as somewhat ironic given the plethora of allegations and lawsuits involving one of the authors:
This document is a verified complaint filed by Lisa A. Koch-Fraser and Robert W. Fraser against Peter Nash, Roxanne Nash, Cooperstown Monument Company, Inc., and Wolfgang Heimerl. It alleges that [1] the Frasers loaned money to Peter and Roxanne Nash on multiple occasions between 2005-2007 for various personal and business needs, totaling over $30,000, and [2] the loans were never fully repaid and the collateral provided was largely inauthentic or worthless. It claims the defendants engaged in fraud and breach of contract.
Lawsuit filed by Robert Edward Auctions against Bishop Ford HS, Ray Nash over memorabilia transaction involving Peter Nash and REA.
Has embattled baseball historian Peter Nash recruited sports memorabilia executives to underwrite his legal battles? Court records suggest that is indeed the case. The former hip-hop artist, former…

Re: Barry Halper article in NY Post
Well,if Barry never played for Jimmy Fox then right there is an obvious fib.
Three things about Barry I observed. (1)He's the reason I started collecting after seeing an article in a magazine showing some photos from his collection.
(2)The cabin fever video of his collection has a segment where Billy Martin visits Barry's home. In an awkward moment,Barry shows Billy a jersey Billy wore. The build up almost had you feeling Barry was going to give Billy the jersey but Barry just showed it to Billy only and Barry then put the jersey back. The look on Billy's face when Barry continued the house tour was probably the look someone saw prior to Billy punching someone.
(3) My own problem with Barry is following his advice at the end of the Cabin Fever Video where he gives collecting tips. In reference to collecting autographed baseballs,he says when a ball has an autograph you want to preserve you hit it with an acrylic spray. Big mistake. Some balls are OK, others,due to the nature of the leather end up blotchy.
(P.S. Barry has also contributed significantly to charitable causes which is never mentioned throught this article. This alone doesn't disprove actions though.)Comment

Re: Barry Halper article in NY Post
Publicity about Halper's collection inspired a lot of us to collect and probably also inspired a lot of people's memorabilia display rooms. It's a shame to hear that at least some of his collection was not what it seemed.Comment

Re: Barry Halper article in NY Post
As luck would have it, I have the University of Miami yearbooks from 1956-1958. While there are no pictures of Halper, the 1957 yearbook clearly shows that Foxx was there in 1957. It shows several pictures of Foxx and the text says that the team was working out in the spring trying to improve on its 1956 record. The 1958 book says that new coach Whitey Campbell took over for Foxx in 1958.
Anyway...looks like the author has at least this fact wrong.Comment

Re: Barry Halper article in NY Post
The part in the Post about the media enjoying Halper's creative stories was true within the hobby, as well, A 1980s/90s hobby paper, Baseeball Hobby News, found the husband/wife publisher/editor team worshipping the ground Halper walked on. If Halper picked his nose, BHN would do a 3-page exclusive on it. I wonder how the Barnings feel now regarding their seeming worship of this guy?
