When does a Mickey Mantle autographed baseball with the inscription "NO 7" on a "1994 World Series" baseball sell for a whopping $316.00.

When it's an obvious forgeries.

The forgers who pen their Mantle forgeries on "1994 World Series" baseballs are morons.

Check out this piece-of-crap forged Mickey Mantle baseball sold by Ebay seller Thueson23 for $316.00.

What a waste of $316.00!!!

The worthless COA is from Eagle Sports.

The moron forger penned this Mickey Mantle forgery on "1994 World Series" baseball.

What an idiot!!!

Crap like this sells because Ebay is heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers who think that Ebay filters out the forgeries, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Ebay has profited big-time from the sales of forgeries for over two decades.

Look at this laughable junk.

I hope the buyer of this garbage submits it to Beckett or JSA.

Here is that forged Mickey Mantle baseball sold by Ebay seller Thueson23 for $316.00.
