Does this look real or fake?

I've been out of the loop for awhile on autographs.

Try to replace some autographs from my growing up years.

Does this look like a real DiMaggio/Mantle? Found this on ebay -- it has the GFA Hologram

Cert --- I know in the beginning they were reliable, but not so much during later years..

Any advice - should I buy it for $138 ... or Run

I've got about 3 days to think about it.

Thanks! - Phil

Yes, the bidding went pretty high.

I didn't end up winning the auction - but I got a 2nd chance offer from the seller.

Then did some investigating and was a not sure if it was real after doing some investigating on the internet... Then I got the offer a little while ago and now just debating whether to get it or not.

Hi Phil,

Click on what I wrote - it is a link - "Scroll down page 2" - and then scroll down when you get there to see something you might recognize. Sorry I was not clear. Maybe read that whole thread.

Best wishes,

"The bidding went pretty high" LOL  good one! :)

I must be missing something - you are seriously debating buying that?

Best wishes,

                 Eric

Edit too add: I'm very sorry - I really thought you were kidding.

Bad forgeries. All GFA items are forgeries. Have never seen an authentic autograph of anyone with their LOA.

Thanks. I'll stay away from it.

Most of the autographs that I got when I was younger were all in person. Gave up most of my collection execpt for one piece.

Just trying to get some of the ones I had back. Had no idea there were so many forgeries going around.

thank you, Westerntraders2020 is the seller.

He offered me a second chance offer on it... Obviously going to pass on it now.

Can you check out the 3rd pic? I just uploaded it. I actually won this one a few days ago. It is a "Yankee Clipper" Plaque. The seller guaranteed it would pass a PSA/JSA inspection - The COA is from Scoreboard I believe.
