Now check out this train wreck sold by Ebay seller Mrbass12 for $425.00.

This is a laughable forged Mickey Mantle sold by Ebay seller Mrbass12 for a stupid $425.00!!!

What a waste of $425.00!!!

If the buyer of this submits it to Beckett (BAS), JSA or PSA, they will be in for a huge surprise.

Crap like this sells because Ebay is so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers, and that's why sellers of forgeries are so successful on Ebay.

And Ebay, of course, doesn't care; they have been profiting from the sales of forgeries for over 20 years.

I will continue to expose garbage like this!!!!!

Look at this train wreck!!!!

It's unbelievable that someone would pay $425.00 for this laughable crap!!!

Worthless COA from "Sports Authority."

I have yet to observe an authentic autograph with a COA from "Sports Authority."

Crazy. And as we've mentioned before the fakes kill the market for the authentic Mantle's. I sold a ball signed by Mantle/Mays/Snider with SGC full LOA on ebay and got about the same price and that's only because it was sold to one of my regulars.

There are two fake styles of Mantle's I've seen that are most common. One is the banana M's style and the other is less of the banana and more of Mickey's M style but still off but also features the profound "U" making a Mauntle autograph.

I have to wonder if these guys signed more Mickey autos than Mickey himself.
