The vultures on Ebay are out in full-force.
This is really disgusting but not unexpected.
We've already observed the thousands of Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, etc. forgeries "authenticated" by Stephen Rocchi and his Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators (GFA) group, and now with the passing of Muhammad Ali, the prices for GFA-certed Muhammad Ali forgeries have sky-rocketed on Ebay.
It's unfortunate that because of Ali's passing that people who adored him and wanting his autographs are now victims.
The people selling these GFA-certed forgeries are now taking advantage of these people. These are vultures with no conscience.
And by Ebay taking no action on these forgeries, they, too, are taking advantage of these people who have emotional ties to Muhammad Ali.
Not only are the sellers of these Muhammad Ali GFA-certed forgeries making a killing selling them, but so is Ebay. This is easy money for Ebay.
For the past few years the GFA (Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators and Stephen Rocchi) certed forgeries of Muhammad Ali were selling anywhere between $50.00 and $150.00.
Now, with the passing of Muhammad Ali, these same GFA-certed forgeries are now selling between 5X and 10X (five and ten times) for what they were selling for a few days ago and during the past few years.
Of course, Ebay seller Rbisportsinc, the biggest seller of GFA-certed forgeries on Ebay, has now ramped up his listings of GFA-certed Muhammad Ali forgeries on Ebay.
Do these people have a conscience?
As you can see, the majority of sellers of the below GFA-certed (Stephen Rocchi) Muhammad Ali forgeries are the same people who have been selling GFA-certed forgeries of Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, Ted Williams, etc. for the last five years.
Ebay has been profiting big-time from the sales of GFA-certed forgeries for the past five years.
Below is a link to Sold Listings of Muhammad Ali GFA-certed forgeries on Ebay.
I would love for one of the above Ebay sellers to prove to me that the below Muhammad Ali forgeries were not produced by a machine!!!

Ali's body is still warm and the vultures are already out in force on Ebay selling forged photos, gloves, etc. of him.
You can click on each image with your mouse to get a closer view.
Truly disgusting!!!!
I also want to note that the same Ebay sellers continue to sell the same images over and over again (just like the Mantle, DiMaggio, Williams, Koufax, Ford, Mays, etc. GFA-certed forgeries).
All hot off the presses!!!

the whole idea of sellers trying to profit because of death of a celebrity sickens me. What goes around comes around and these sellers, and hopefully the crook that is placing those awful stickers on these forgeries, will get what they deserve. So will ebay.
I agree, Terrier. Karma will catch up sooner or later. Truly disgusting so many fans are getting ripped off for big bucks!
I have no sympathy for those buyers, Steve.
They have zero common sense.
The scammers on Ebay are making a killing.
Rick, you're right-on about that.
John House (CEO of AtAuction) continues to sell his GFA-certed forgeries of Ali.
I agree, Ron.
Ebay has the ability to stop the carnage, but there is too much money involved.
They won't stop it.
yes, Scam Bay does facilitate forgeries and that is why I quit em.
If this wasn't so sickening and pathetic, it would be side splitting hysterical to see that there are that many imbeciles in the world.
Absolutely, Fudd.
