Hi all,

I'm a small time collector of mafia books and magazines. I imagine most of you on here have mafia book collections 3-4x the size of mine. Anyways the reason for my thread is that I was wondering if anyone has any mafia memorabilia and if so what? How'd you come to own it? I often see things posted on eBay (checks, clothing, jail letters) and question authenticity but at the same time would love to see/own it.

There was some cool Carlo Gambino bank cheques about a year ago that was up for a while.. very surprised to see them

I had John Gotti's Funeral Card..I lost it ...lol..oh well...

Roy De Meo's son auctioned a lot of shit purported to have belonged to his father on Ebay, some of which wasn't even invented until after his death..

There was a member here who wrote about writing to mobsters in prison and getting nice letters back, can't remember which ones exactly.

I saw a letter from Vic Amuso once but I couldn't read his handwriting.

This is wild have not thought about it long time but there is good amount of old Scarf Inc. stuff and the first dump truck that Phil started Scarf Inc with was bought and it has been completely restored buy the guy.

I know it’s not a gun or anything but there is some jackets and shirts still around and pretty lot of other stuff .

People are interested in that stuff really is strange

And we find these items of (Merchandise) @ ?????????

Friends family and neighbors the equipment went to a local concrete guy that is still in business in the city I sill don’t know how to post pictures here I would show some .

That was Mafioso (RIP) on RealDeal . some of those letters were great. Like Scarfo bitching about "church" in prison.

He got a lot of replies i cant remember all them but i think Casso was one also. Persico sent him a thank you card but no message lol. And i can't remember exactly who, possibly Borgesi(?), that even wrote back to him "why the hell are u writting gangsters letters."
