Check out the below forged Mickey Mantle baseball sold by Ebay seller Makaryh for $350.78.

If this was an authentic Mickey Mantle autograph on a Budig baseball it would have sold for at least $800.00 or more.

I would have easily bid that much on it if it was authentic.

With Ebay so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers, selling forgeries on Ebay is actually easier than selling authentic autographs, and the sellers of forgeries know it.

And Ebay loves it!!!

They have profited big-time from the sales of forgeries for the last twenty years.

Here is that forged Mickey Mantle on a  "Budig" baseball sold by Ebay seller Makaryh.

Pathetic, laughable and obvious forgery.
