Here's yet another Mickey Mantle forgery on a photograph listed on Ebay.

This ugly Mickey Mantle forgery on a photo is listed by Ebay seller mere_pett.

This is a "Florida" forgery.

The people who buy and sell this crap have ZERO knowledge of autographs.

This garbage is found at websites like AtAuction.com (formerly AlwaysAtAuction.com), Ubid.com, AAFES, local auctions, charity auctions, estate sales, etc.   Those are the major outlets for the "Florida" forgeries.

This garbage is also found at local auctions, estate sales, and charity events.

The buyers and sellers of this crap list their forgeries on Ebay because they know the suckers and wannabe autograph collectors will purchase their forgeries.

These typical Mickey Mantle "Florida" forgery comes with a COA from Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators (GFA) headed by Steve Rocchi, also known as Guaranteed Fake Autographs.

GFA (Steve Rocchi) picked up where Chris Morales, Ted Taylor and Drew Max left off after AlwaysAtAuction.com changed their name to AtAuction.com.

AtAuction.com  continues to sell Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio forgeries on a weekly basis.

The people who buy this crap, purchase this garbage on the cheap, and then look to flip it on Ebay for a profit.

And Ebay continues, as they have for the past twenty years, to profit from the sales of forgeries.

These forgeries have infected our autograph hobby by the tens upon tens of thousands.

Here is that Mickey Mantle forgery on a photograph  listed by Ebay seller mere_pett.
