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.

Did PSA authenticate the below Mickey Mantle?  No way!!!!
