Ebay Seller Sammybull71 Mickey Mantle Autographed Photo Forgery COA Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators Steve Rocchi

Check out another Mickey Mantle forgery listed on Ebay with a COA from GFA (Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators).

This ugly Mickey Mantle forgery on a photograph is listed by Ebay seller Sammybull71.

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.

These typical Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio "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.

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 tens of thousands.

We will continue to expose Ebay sellers of GFA (Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators, Steve Rocchi) "certed" forgeries.

Here is that ugly and obvious Mickey Mantle forgery on a photograph listed by Ebay seller Sammybull71.

"This is a "Florida" forgery.

I am sorry but the big problem is that the people selling this crap have a lot of knowledge of autographs. Many of the main people involved know exactly what they are selling and what they have done to the hobby. We have guys that have been in the industry for 30+ years and know that these autographs are nothing more then garbage but continue to take advantage of the people who are just beginning or have little knowledge of autographs or these hobby. You have some well known names that have been discussed over and over again. Now you have long time well known autograph dealers such as Stephen Koschal getting involved with the Florida Forgery Crew.
