Check out the below forged Mickey Mantle Budig baseball listed by Ebay seller Vasmike.

The seller claims the autograph was authenticated by PSA.

I checked the database and the cert number (B86881) does show up on the PSA/DNA database; unfortunately the PSA/DNA database does not include a photo of the autograph.

Note the tampered sticker on the baseball.

But also observe that the seller's photo of the PSA/DNA authentication are only those that are on the PSA/DNA website.  The seller does not possess a PSA/DNA LOA/COA.

Did PSA cert the below "Mickey Mantle?"

No way!!!   That is one horrid-looking forgery.

I will also add that the forged baseball is on a Budig baseball;  Mickey Mantle authentic autographs on Budig baseballs are very rare.

Here is the forged Mickey Mantle baseball listed by Ebay seller Vasmike.
