First of all, Joe knows memorabilia. His collection is one of the top 2-3 in the supercar world. I would not hestitate buying anything from him (Joe, Grossman emblem?). And, I understand why he was upset over the fake remark. In the same manner as having a collection of legit supercars and not wanting to be involved with clones/fakes, memorabilia is the same way. If it is thought that the Berger piece is fake, what does it say about the 100s of other items Joe has? There are numerous folks out there re-producing supercar related items, including emblems, decals, patches and even jackets. It is buyer beware when it comes to memorabilia. We could use more Joes out there who do their homework when buying and/or selling memorabilia.

As per the Berger broom, I was surprised that is was not sold the first day. I have not seen such an item from any of the supercar dealers. Items associated with the supercars are bringing top $$$. Authenic items are very much in demand, which is the reason for all of the knockoffs. And, the rarer the item, the more valuable. Autographed and/or personel are the most desired.
