I just finished reading Operation Bullpen today. Wow. If you're at all interested in the autograph side of the hobby, you really should read it. It tells the story of Greg Marino's forgery ring, and the hundreds or thousands of autographs he'd forge every day. Anything from Mantle and Dimaggio to Ruth, Cy Young, Mother Theresa and anyone in between. After reading it I'm not sure I could ever buy a vintage autograph without having serious doubts. He would fill orders for two hundred Maris baseballs, one hundred Thurman Munson baseballs and a dozen 500 HR club jerseys in a day or two. Wow. Just wow.
Here's a link to the Amazon page, though I'm sure you can find it elsewhere. I got mine from the NYC public library.
