Check out the below Mickey Mantle forgery on a photograph found on Ebay.

This ugly Mickey Mantle forgery is listed by Ebay seller Phil.simp.

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, CEO John House),  Ubid.com (CEO, Bob Geras), AAFES, local auctions, charity auctions, estate sales, etc.   Those are the major outlets for the "Florida" forgeries.

These typical Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Duke Snider, etc. "Florida" forgeries come with a COA from Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators (GFA) headed by Steve Rocchi. 

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

Steve Rocchi must be proud of himself to be mentioned in the same circles are Chris Morales, Drew Max and Ted Taylor.

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.

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

Everywhere we look these GFA certed forgeries are at local auctions, estate sales, charity events, and, of course, AtAuction.com (CEO, John House) and Ubid.com (CEO, Bob Geras).

The matting and framing is cheap crap that comes already framed when purchased from AtAuction.com, Ubid.com and Military Exchange Auctions.

"Florida" has been pumping this crap out for years and the suckers, scammers and wannabe autograph collectors continue to buy and sell this crap!!!

Here is that Mickey Mantle forgery listed by Ebay seller Phil.simp.
