Ummm...what? Mickey Mantle and others Auto Bat!!

Found this bat for sale. Right off, I'm looking at this terrible mantle forgery and see there is a PSA/DNA letter of authenticity. Im thinking no way! Sure enough the bat does come with a true letter from PSA/DNA. Still, i can't believe JSA would authenticate such an obvious fake. Then I read the fine print on the letter...all autos are real, EXCEPT Nolan Ryan, Ted Williams, and Mantle. Yet the first name in his description for an auto bat is mantle??? To me the bat is worthless with those three forgeries. It's a shame too, considering how many authentic autos are on this bat. What a shame.

Sean, that bat has been on Ebay for years. 

The Mantle, Williams and Ryan sigs are forgeries.

I wrote to the seller one time and he insisted "That PSA got it wrong."

Oh wow. Sorry for the repeat thread. First time I had seen this specific bat myself.

Sean, don't worry, this isn't a repeat thread.

I simply wrote that the bat has been on Ebay for years.  I have never posted it here.

At least he talks about it in the description. But even the ink for mantle looks fresh, and all the other autos are dark and faded.
