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).

When does an autographed Mickey Mantle baseball sell for $67.00.

When it's an obvious forgery!!!

Check out this laughable forged Mickey Mantle baseball sold by Ebay seller Bucks1996 for a whopping $67.00.

Does the buyer of this crap really think they purchased an authentic Mickey Mantle signed baseball for $67.00!!!

Seriously!!!

This crap continues to sell because Ebay is so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers; and the sellers of garbage like this know it.
