Check out this forged Mickey Mantle baseball sold by Ebay seller shovince-vyuiqr for $355.00.
What a waste of $355.00!!!
There are some authentic Mickey Mantle autographed baseball that don't sell for that much money!!!
Who in their right mind wastes $355.00 on crap like this!!!
That's why selling forgeries on Ebay is actually easier than selling authentic autographs; with Ebay so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers, it's no surprise that Ebay makes a mint from the sales of forgeries.
Here is that forged Mickey Mantle baseball sold by Ebay seller shovince-vyuiqr for $355.00.
Here is that obvious forgery.

Crazy, isn't it?
Consumers have a world of information at their fingertips and within minutes could learn to identify and avoid this ghastly fake style, yet they still infect the hobby.
The truly scary thing is you could place an uncerted AUTHENTIC Mantle on ebay and it would probably do no better than this fake did.

Steve, you are right on about an authentic non-certed Mantle. That is a sad statement about our hobby.
