Forged Mickey Mantle GFA COA Baseball On Ebay By Stevew6

I've posted hundreds of hundreds about sellers listing and selling forgeries with COAs from Steve Rocchi and his Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators company, but the below Mickey Mantle forgery shows that GFA is either rubber-stamping everything that they get paid to "authenticate," or, just like the people that sell their certed forgeries, Rocchi knows ZERO about autographs.

My opinion is both.

Look at the below piece-of-crap Mickey Mantle forgery listed by EBay seller Stevew6.

Of course, we already know that EBay seller Stevew6 has already sold dozens of Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, etc, forgeries.

The below Mickey Mantle forgery listed by Ebay seller Stevew6 takes the cake.

This is both ridiculous and laughable.

Saw a ball signed the same way two days ago, and I loved reading the sellers backstory...

my aunt was close friends with Mickey mantle and this was a ball given to her during their friendship. She has recently passed and...blah blah blah.

Ha.

and then the seller has the duty to share with the buyer how it's all NOT a scam associating Joe Rocchihead with PSA & JSA...and you know what? The low life bottom feeder seller is right. E-bay is selling GFA fakes hand over fist right now, as if they were GAI or GA or what ever those fraudulent Rubber stampers are calling themselves these days. I knew it wouldn't take long before all the fake balls with GFA forgery approval stamps would be around. LOL Pretty funny stuff.

Disgusting yet funny that it only gets worse, people only get stupider and law enforcement is hamstrung or not willing to do anything except beat up and kill people. It really is a great business model that can't be stopped as guys like Steve Sikes, Joe Rocchihead, Justin NotsoPridddy, Jorge Podsada, Drew Maxipad, Christopher Moralass, Opie Tayler and Scot A**lick have proved. Guys like The Donald Fryingpangianni, their mentor, showed them the way. Certify everything and then plead stupidity. Great concept. They have all proved over and over again that nobody cares to do anything about it. It's a victim-less crime. The victim would have to be less than a moron half-wit zero himself, and that is not the case with these buyers. They are idiots for believing in fairy tales.....like this one
