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).

Check out the below forged "500 Homerun Club" baseball listed by Ebay seller Justyankeecards-nogum.

Typical and mass-produced set of forgeries (Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Harmon Killebrew, Ernie Banks, Reggie Jackson, etc) from the 1990's.

The COA is from Sports Immortals Museum & Memorabilia Mart.

Who?

According to Ebay seller Justyankeecards-no gum "This company is still in the sports memorabilia business today, with more than 25 years of service and has been highly endorsed by numerous sports legends, stars and professionals both old and new."

Anyone ever heard of them?

I certainly never have.

It's amazing that's 2021 and people are still buying crap like this.

It's not surprising; with Ebay so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers, selling forgeries on Ebay is actually easier than selling authentic autographs.

As you can observe, these are a common set of "500 Homerun Club" forgeries."

I hope that whoever buys these submits them to Beckett, JSA or PSA.

All  three (Beckett, JSA and PSA) will fail this baseball immediately.
