Mantle is definitely a forgery. Koufax may be as well but I have not studied him as much and cannot be positive.

again, I agree with Randy.  the Mantle is a no-doubter, and the Koufax is not the worst forgery I have ever seen, but definitely lacking in flow.

Funny thing is the seller obviously believes the Mastro LOA because he has a reserve over $500 and that is about the full retail value if the ball were authentic.

If he thought he was pedding a forgery, he would just take what he could get. 

Obviously, the bidders also must trust the Mastro LOA for this item to be bid at the current level.

Unfortunately, somebody is going to get stuck if the reserve is met.

Maybe lost on the imbecile seller and Dumb F dopey bidders are that Mastro is in Jail right now. So even if the letter is fake, real whatever it is...the ball is a terrible joke of a forgery worth$5.00 for the price of a ball...not $500.00 LOLOLOLL what IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!

I disagree Terrier, The Koufax is among the worst of the worst. The upswing at the tail of the "S" is a tell-tale giveaway.

The Monkey Mantle is very typical...Made by a Chimpanzee, for a Chimpanzee.

yup, and they look just like that style... You mean those are the "Good" fakes GA certed? I'd hate to see their bad ones? That Koufax is a very common forgery style that was certed by Global by the 1000's. Apparently GA followed suit, just like they did with everything GAI did. THEY ARE ONE IN THE SAME. There names are synonymous with each other.  Always has been, always will be. 

First class hacks.
