Once again this proves how easy it it to sell forgeries.

When does an autographed Mickey Mantle Budig Baseball with the inscription "536 Hrs" sell for a whopping $157.50?

When it's an obvious forgery.

Check out the below forged Mickey Mantle on a Budig baseball with the inscription "536 Hrs" sold by Ebay sellerEastauto that sold for a whopping $157.50.

If this was authentic, myself and a dozen other autograph collectors would have bid this well over $1,000.00.

If this was actually authentic, it would sell for over $2,000.00.

Does the buyer of the below forged Mickey Mantle baseball really think they purchased an authentic Mickey Mantle autographed baseball with the inscription "536 Hrs" for $157.50!!!

This is why selling forgeries on Ebay is so easy with Ebay so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers.

The below is a typical and common Mantle forgery that I have exposed hundreds of times.

Here is that forged Mickey Mantle baseball sold by Ebay seller Eastauto for $157.50.
