Before I continue, below are links showing hundreds of examples of forged Mickey Mantle baseballs, photos, etc. found on Ebay (the most dangerous place to buy autographs if you're a casual collector or impulse buyer).

Below is yet another forged Mickey Mantle baseball that sold on Ebay.

It was sold by Ebay seller Cbradleysportscards for $540.00.

$540.00 down the toilet.

The worthless COA from Nicholas J. Bruyer (who?).

Ebay continues to be the most dangerous place to buy autographs if you have zero knowledge of autographs.

It's 2023 and people continue to buy garbage like this even with a ton of information out there.

I hope the buyer submits this garbage to Beckett, JSA or PSA.

It is actually easier to sell forgeries on Ebay than it is to sell authentic autographs.

Since the inception of Ebay, people assume that Ebay filters out the forgeries and nothing could be further from the truth.

Who spends $540.00 on garbage like this?
