Myst-O-graph famous fake? Need proof to get money back..The Mantle and Ford

Ok, a local auction company was selling some sports memorabilia. Almost every thing they had checked out fine. But In the heat of the moment, I let my guard down and bought this this Mantle, Ford. After seeing the COA I had that sinking feeling. So I contacted the auction company and they want to hear what an expert has to say..So If any one could provide a expert response that I can email to the auction company I would appreciate it beyond words,

Ryan,

Do not worry or feel like an idiot, these forgers are the real idiots. They have sold 1000's of these prints and they produce more everyday. You only bought one, I have dealt with professional dealers and auction houses that have bought 100's at one time. They are able to adjust the size and placement in order to sell volume. I have also found slight variations in the signatures. They are for sure not genuine, but there will be more to be said about the procedure and companies that have authenticated them.

Ok so, thats a different pic of whitey signing..Is there actually any legit ones out there, or was it all a fraud to add "authenticity" to the fakes? Did some of these crappy authentication companys actually put of real stuff along with frauds?

By the way Im going to send you an email in the morning with some detailed pics. I cant thank you enough for your time.
