Great video! Thanks for sharing. What a collection. I can only imagine how much it's worth. He's done a tremendous job with the display and security, too. How cool.

The guy was in the St petersburg Times as well . I used to see him a lot at The Trop in St Pete in the early years of the Devil Rays . He has lot of cash and doesn't have to work . Must make collecting easy . So easy, I think collecting would be kind of boring ,except for the hunt . Did the Honus Wagner sig look almost too new to anybody else? the ink looked perfect..let's hear from some of the experts out there....

Saw a few forgeries amongst the collection.

The 1939 HOF Ball, the DiMaggio/Monroe ball, the Wagner ball among others.

Sammy - I think they said the DiMaggio/Marilyn Monroe was 1 of only 2 in existence. Why do you think it was a forgery?

The Honus Wagner looked like it was brand new.

I've seen quite a few DiMaggio/Monroe balls in existence, more then 1 or 2, but that doesn't mean these are authentic.

I've been doing this a long time and my opinion is based on experience.

I'd bet money none of the major authrntication companies would certify the ball as authentic.
