Ebay Seller Shegar Mickey Mantle Autographed Baseball Forgery COA B&J Collectibles Operation Bullpen

Here's another Mickey Mantle forgery on a baseball found on Ebay with a worthless COA from B&J Collectibles.

As we all know, B&J Collectibles was a major distributor of forgeries during the "Operation Bullpen" era.

This Mickey Mantle forgery is listed by Ebay seller Shegar.

This crap (forgeries) will continue to infect the autograph hobby forever.

The "Home Shopping" shows alone sold approximately $750,000 in forgeries to consumers.

Ebay seller Shegar writes "I had this ball posted once before and someone on e-bay said that B & J Collectibles sold many fakes; however, a group of appraisers just came to town and charged a fee to tell you about your item. This is definitely an originally signed (AUTHENTIC) MICKEY MANTLE baseball. The appraisers said what made it especially nice was that it had been preserved in a shrink wrap."

Seriously? This is an ugly Mickey Mantle forgery on a baseball.

Here is the Mickey Mantle forgery listed by Ebay seller Shegar and the worthless COA from "B&J Collectibles."

You're right, Terrier.

Not even the wannabe autograph collectors are paying $500.00 for that garbage.

Maybe Ebay seller Shegar can post a photo of the written appraisal.

We could use a good laugh.

At $500 it is in no danger of selling.

Has anyone ever seen an authentic Mantle with a B&J Collectibles COA? I do not think I have.

Never ever ever?? Do you mind glancing at mine. I had to empty my ex husband's storage unit into my basement and there are like 10 big boxes of baseball card stuff. This Mantle ball was the first thing I pulled form the top of the first box. I have no idea what to do with the rest of it.

Thanks for your quick response. At least I have a legit answer. Any advice on how to start dealing with 10 packing boxes of ungraded baseball cards from the 80s, 90s and early 00s? Listing things on ebay will take years and I have no idea what's in there. and any good cards would not be graded as that was just first getting more popular when he stopped collecting.... feeling overwhelmed with baseball....
