Now here's the real kicker.

The "Mickey Mantle" signature is on a Gene Budig baseball, produced beginning in 1995.

The worthless COA from X Tra Inning Corp shows a "Dated Seal" from 1991.

Wickedly hilarious, pathetic, and sad. So many adjectives come to mind. Great work as always, Christopher. So many times these guys cross their t's but forget to dot their i's. Too many things to remember and then they get caught. These people should try to get a real job instead of trying to scam people!
