Now check out this train wreck sold by Ebay seller framedepot7519.

This is a forged Mickey Mantle baseball sold by Ebay seller framedepot7519 for a stupid $500.00!!!

What a waste of $500.00!!!

For less than that, the so-called winning bidder, could have purchased an authentic one.

The reason I wrote "so-called winning bidder" is below.

Crap like this sells because Ebay is so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers.

Ebay has been profiting from the sales of forgeries for over 20 years.

I will continue to expose garbage like this.
