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 a good laugh!!!

Check out the below forged "Mickey Mantle" baseball sold by Ebay seller Brzak for $202.50..

The bogus COA is from Stan The Man Sports (Operation Bullpen).

"Stan The Man Sports" is on Ebay's Banned COA List and was never removed.

Shame on Ebay!!

Look at this piece-of-crap forged Mickey Mantle baseball.

Laughable forgery sold by Ebay seller Brzak.
