Prosecutors said Tremayne provided items that he said contained genuine signatures and oftentimes included a "Certificate of Authenticity" form - although both were found to be bogus. 

He admitted to selling up to $550,000 of fake memorabilia. 

Movie memorabilia with forged signatures was also a part of the scheme. 

Tremayne, who currently resides in Mexico, was initially facing multiple charges, including 13 counts of wire fraud, but pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud as part of the plea deal. His sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 11. He faces up to 20 years in prison.
