Check out this ugly Mickey Mantle forgery on a baseball.

This putrid-looking Mickey Mantle forgery is listed by Ebay seller TripleCrown8.

Ebay seller TripleCrown8 writes "I live in Northern New Jersey and obtained this particular autograph at a card show in Atlantic City, New Jersey in the early 90's in person."

No way!!!!

This is the first time I've seen an autograph item "authenticated (cough, cough)" by GMA Grading Co.  I've only seen their "work" on cards.

Why didn't Ebay seller TripleCrown8 choose PSA or JSA?  Geez, I wonder why?
