Great Chat with Old GUU Member

[EurekaDave]

No COA? No wash tag? Not always a problem.

Just got off the phone with GUU member Dan Rosquete of Boston. He's anattorney/sports agent now, and got started in the memorabilia business when Manny Ramirez sold him a ton of his old stuff.

Dan took some heat from collectors here for "doctored" collectibles. But I still stand up for him, and hope to hook up with him when I go to the Dominican Republic to see some baseball this December.

Point is --- some dealers really are stand-up folks. And I met him on this forum. Thanks.

Isnt that the dude who lied and said he got handed a bat from Manny then changed his story when it came out it was altered?

Interesting interview from October of this year to add some positive vibes.

I would like to personally state that after Manny got traded from Boston to LA, that winter I made contact with Manny's cousin in Florida. I bought several pieces of Manny's that he used and was issued to him during his career in both Boston and Cleveland.

Manny must have accumulated a lot of stuff lol.

All I said was that I enjoyed talking to the guy.

The funny thing is that we get all wound up about a doctored "Manolo" bat. And all the while Manny Ramirez was doctoring himself with PED's.

Remembered when Sammy Sosa stuff was hot? I've got a Sosa jersey I bought for $2500. I'll let you have it for half-price. I'll even throw in my timeshare in Sinkhole Estates, Florida

So, it's ok to rip off fellow collectors, as long as cheating is alleged to have taken place in said professional sport.

Great morals, guy.
