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

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

This ugly Mickey Mantle forgery is listed by Ebay seller Steve_ferr.

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).

Ebay seller Steve_ferr writes "The framing and mat boarding was $150.00."

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

Ebay seller Steve_ferr also writes "It is also a Limited Edition Print."

Really, Ebay seller Steve_ferr?  

"Florida" has been pumping this crap out for years!!!!

The second Jeter in black JSA said no good, any opinions on the Blue Jeter sig 1a above ? I am going to send this one in.

Mantle litho is trash. I have 5 of those from the 90's. Have never seen an authentic autograph on that particular item. Sellers take the Scoreboard LOAs which did represent authentic items if the original witnessed item was offered but they switch out the item with the LOA.

I don't know Jeter's autograph well enough to comment. Others will.

Mantle Claridge is authentic. Congrats.

This Mantle is common "Operation Bullpen" garbage forgery. The Mantle Claridge is authentic. 

Jeter 1A is too dark for me to see the end of, and I am not familiar enough with Jeter's earlier sig to tell from a partial sig. The 2nd Jeter is authentic IMO.

Finally getting good news Ryan hope the first one is good too, gentleman said he got a couple signed at spring training years back and framed them and one fell and broke that's why there are scratches on it , I tried to put in as much light as possible just real dark on the end
