Ebay Seller Bodhibear904 Mickey Mantle Autographed Photo Forgery COA NOT SCOREBOARD Sold For $89.99

Here's another instance where an Ebay seller (Ebay seller Bodhibear904) listed and sold a Mickey Mantle forgery using a Scoreboard COA.

Over the past few years it has become very popular where sellers on Ebay use an old/edited/reproduced Scoreboard to sell their forgeries.

In this case, Ebay seller Bodhibear904 used a Scoreboard COA to list and sell their Mickey Mantle forgery for $89.99.

And, of course, an Ebay wannabe autograph collector wasted $89.99 on this piece-of-crap Mickey Mantle forgery sold by Ebay seller Bodhibear904.

Ebay seller Bodhibear904 just sold another Mickey Mantle forgery using a Scoreboard COA.

This is, of course, a "Florida" forgery. The scam continues.

"This is, of course, a "Florida" forgery. The scam continues."

These are all from the same Florida group that now has Stephen Koschal, long time autograph dealer and autograph authenticator involved, Koschal is now even repeating there known BS. This group has sold 1000's of these autographs at card shows, auctions, on the internet and at flea markets. Now that the holiday season is coming close, you will be seeing these same signatures all over the place. Nobody should purchase a Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Muhammad Ali, Sandy Koufax autograph unless it has been certificated by a reliable third party autograph authentication company. Please check the authentication companies database to confirm the authentication. Make sure that all COA's have a good address and phone number on it, as well as a persons name that can be contacted. You also are welcome to post the image right here on AML before you buy.

This is the only way to try to stop the sales at this moment.
