Here's another Mickey Mantle forgery on a photograph found on Ebay with a COA from GAI (Mike Baker).

This particular forgery on that photo was produced in the thousands. 

It's an ugly forgery that puzzles me why anyone would buy and sell it.  It's garbage.

This is why we expose these GAI certed forgeries; these forgeries and those who sell them are ruining our hobby.

As we all know, before GAI went bankrupt and out of business in 2009, they authenticated thousands of Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, etc., forgeries with Mike Baker's name on the worthless COAs.

This typical ugly Mickey Mantle forgery on a photo, which was produced in the thousands, is listed by Ebay seller Mburkett.

Fortunately, at a starting bid of $315.00, even the Ebay wannabe autograph collectors who usually bid on crap like this, won't buy this garbage.

As a matter of fact, Mickey Mantle forgeries easily outnumber authentic Mickey Mantle autographs.

Here is that ugly Mickey Mantle forgery listed by Ebay seller Mburkett.
