CONFESSIONS OF AN EIGHTH GRADE AUTOGRAPH FORGERY EXPERT
In the late 1980s, I was like any other 13-year-old boy. I was too shy to talk to girls, I was obsessed with baseball, and I counted the days until my braces would come off. I also happened to be making $500 a month selling fake autographs across the country.
