Before I continue, below are links showing hundreds of examples of forged Mickey Mantle baseballs, photos, etc. found on Ebay (the most dangerous place to buy autographs if you're a casual collector or impulse buyer).

Here's another mass-produced Mickey Mantle forged baseball that recently sold on Ebay.

This was sold by Ebay seller Shippingpostcardsandpaper.

This is a typical 1990's mass-produced Mickey Mantle forgery on a baseball.

This crap continues to sell because Ebay is so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers; and the sellers of garbage like this know it.

It is actually easier to sell forgeries on Ebay than it is authentic autographs.

What a waste of $312.77.

As long as garbage like this continues to sell on Ebay, I will continue to expose the sellers who sell this crap.

Collectors with authentic autographs have difficulty selling their authentic autographs because it is hard to compete with forgeries that sell for a lot less.

Worthless COA from Anaconda Sports.
