Check out this ugly Mickey Mantle forgery listed by Ebay seller Clarkescollectibles.

These are the forgeries that are purchased at local auctions, estate sales, charity auctions, AtAuction.com, Ubid.com, etc., by people who have ZERO knowledge of autographs.

They buy this crap to flip them on Ebay for a profit.  These people know ZERO about autographs and they are helping to infect and ruin our autograph hobby.

This ugly Mickey Mantle forgery listed by Ebay seller Clarkescollectibles comes with a COA from "Stat Authentic (Ted Taylor)" who is deservedly on Ebay's Banned COA list.

This is he usual crap "authenticated (cough, cough)" by Ted Taylor, Drew Max, Steve Rocchi and Chris Morales.
