Ebay Seller la*de*la Mickey Mantle DiMaggio Williams Autographed Photo Forgery COA Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators Rocchi Sold $832.00
Check out the below Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams forgeries listed on Ebay.
These ugly Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio & Ted Williams forgeries on photos were listed and sold by Ebay seller la*de*la for $832.00.
Who in their right mind would spend $832.00 of these set of Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams forgeries?
Ebay wannabe autograph collectors, of course.
These are the "Florida" forgeries.
The people who buy and sell this crap have ZERO knowledge of autographs.
This garbage is found at websites like AtAuction.com (formerly AlwaysAtAuction.com), Ubid.com, AAFES, local auctions, charity auctions, estate sales, etc. Those are the major outlets for the "Florida" forgeries.
These typical Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio & Ted Williams "Florida" forgeries come with a COA from Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators (GFA) headed by Steve Rocchi.
GFA (Steve Rocchi) picked up where Chris Morales, Ted Taylor and Drew Max left off after AlwaysAtAuction.com changed their name to AtAuction.com.
AtAuction.com continues to sell Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio forgeries on a weekly basis.
The people who buy this crap, purchase this garbage on the cheap, and then look to flip it on Ebay for a profit.
These forgeries have infected our autograph hobby by the tens of thousands.
Ebay continues, as they have for the past twenty years, to profit from the sales of forgeries.
Ebay seller la*de*la writes "It is wise to use your own judgement when purchasing autographs."
Ebay seller la*de*la should have taken his own advice. Of course, Ebay seller la*de*la is not a true collector, he simply flips forgeries for a profit.
Here are those Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams forgeries on photos are sold by Ebay seller la*de*la for $832.00.

You can find a legit PSA one for less. Amazing that someone looking to spend this kind of money wouldn't spend a little time educating themselves first. A fool and their money.....

Exactly, Steve. Makes me wonder if there was some "shilling" going on.
Gotta be a moron to pay that amount of money for that garbage.
Actually, I've been seeing a number of "GFA" certed forgery auctions where there is a ton of shill bidding.
Someone is behind it. I think they are trying to make "GFA" look legit.

Having an office in South Florida, I have to see and physically examine this crap daily. You have done a great job making people aware of what is going on with these South Florida forgeries on ebay. The sad fact is how many people have been purchasing these items at local stores, auctions and flea markets, that are not even familiar with ebay, or Autograph Magazine Live. GFA looks like the authenticator of the month from what I have recently been seeing coming into my office. I know that they were recently in South Florida doing autograph authentication for a large autograph wholesaler.I do believe a majority of these items and images will shortly be removed from the marketplace.

I hope so, Michael.
I recently made a few purchases of those GFA (Steve Rocchi) certed forgeries and I will be making a video on exactly what these pieces are.
I still have those purchases in their original UPS packaging and will be unveiling them on video.
The majority of us know what they really are.
Steve Rocchi deserves to be mentioned in the same circles as Chris Morales, Ted Taylor and Drew Max.

I can't tell if these GFA POS are "hand signed" forgeries or laser print. If they are laser printed, what is that and how do they do it?
