I watch Mantle autographs on ebay....I noted today that someone in florida was selling unused Mantle show autograph tickets from years ago....presuming there really was a show at that time, i find selling these things disturbing...there are enough fake autographs coming out of florida already....and knowing there are unused autograph tickets floating around, i would think twice and likely not seek to purchase any item, real or not, supported by any ticket from that show....the poor SOB that has a real Mantle item from that show is now at a disadvantage....a tough sell...
Sorry to rant...but just when you think you have seen it all....but i guess there have always been bogus COAs...now i look at ebay and see a lot of high price fakes among some high price real ones...before it was cheap fakes, and now they sell autograph tickets....so somebody can match them to fake items...
What's next.....!!!!
