SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) - Federal authorities have charged a sports memorabilia dealer from northeastern Pennsylvania with possessing hundreds of unlicensed pro jerseys and photos.

Thirty-five-year-old Salvatore Argo, of Mountain Top, owned the Sports Scene store near Hazleton. An affidavit says U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents seized hundreds of unlicensed NFL jerseys and photos from the store and Argo's van in June.

Argo was charged with trafficking in counterfeit goods or services. The charges were filed under seal on June 7. The case was reported Monday by The Times Leader of Wilkes-Barre.

Argo told the newspaper on Friday that most of the seized items did not belong to him. He says they were sent to him by dealers across the country who wanted to get them signed.
