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).

Below is a link to Ebay's Banned COA list.   Forensic Document Services (FDS) is deservedly on that list.

The below forged Mickey Mantle baseball with the forged inscription 536 Hr's is listed by Ebay seller Jorblad-46.

As you can observe, it is your typical mass-produced forgery from the 1990's.

It is 2023 and so-called collectors continue to buy this garbage.

Garbage like this sells on Ebay because Ebay is heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers.

And anyone who thinks that Ebay filters out the forgeries is naïve; Ebay doesn't care.

More crap with a worthless COA from Forensic Document Services.  These forgeries of Mantle, DiMaggio and Williams are laughable.

More crap from FDS.  Pure garbage.
