BEWARE OF PHONIES ON THE INTERNET

Lately I have noticed ONCE AGAIN that many fans are selling photos that don't belong to them on eBay and trying to profit from others work. This is just one example:
This photo was taken by only two people, in a private room. The reason I know this, is because I made this picture take place. I used to run the Buddy Rogers and Bruno Sammartino Fan Clubs. I begged them to pose TOGETHER for the photo above, as a favor to me. Reluctantly Bruno agreed, he did not get along with Buddy at all.
(See photo below, after the above photo was taken of them alone, one was taken of the three of us. See below)
The reason I am telling you fans about this, is because so many phonies are out there now.
If you are interested in obtaining copies of original photos of this era, go directly to the photographers.
Bob Mulrenin email is [email protected] and Frankie Amato email is [email protected]
Support the original photographers, and not the phonies trying to make poorly duplicated copies.
Thanks Georgie [email protected]
There are so many others, some even have Frankie Amato's or George Napolitano's names written on the photos, making very poor copies.
I have seen so many others, reprinted from my Bruno Sammartino Record Book, which I know are mine, as they are one of a kind.
Here is another rip off, those photos shown on this auction are from my Bruno Sammartino Record Book. The photo of Bruno with Mr. America on his shoulders I took at a Tom Minichiello Contest in Brooklyn, where Bruno was a Judge.
There are so many on eBay selling very bad copies of photographers photos. But now many of the photographers are aware of this problem, and they are going to contact eBay, especially if their names are written on the photos, and put in complaints. So buyers beware.
