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).

Check out this laughable forged Mickey Mantle baseball (with a forged inscription "HOF 1974") listed by Ebay seller Dobler24.

I will continue to expose this garbage that continues to flood Ebay and devalue the authentic autograph collections of true autograph collectors.

Even though it's 2019, people (not real collectors) on Ebay continue to bid and purchase crap like this primarily because Ebay is so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers.

Those same people think that Ebay filters out the forgeries; nothing could be further from the truth.  Ebay has profited big-time over the past two decades from the sales of forgeries.

Fortunately this garbage won't sell at that price ($1,350.00).

Real collectors like us don't give crap like this a second look and the people that buy forgeries won't give this a second look because of the price.

Check out this worthless and laughable COA from Play Ball of Las Vegas.

No surprise the worthless COA is from Las Vegas.
