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 this ugly forged Mickey Mantle baseball that was sold by Ebay seller 5thstreetpawnllc-5 for $425.00.
$425.00 down the toilet.
Who in their right mind spends $425.00 on crap like this.
The auction title reads "Rare Autographed Mickey Mantle Baseball..."
Two facts:
Authentic Mickey Mantle autographs are not rare; Mr. Mantle signed a ton of baseballs and other items.
Forged Mickey Mantle baseballs aren't rare either; there are more forged Mantle items than there are authentic pieces.
Now check out this forged Mickey Mantle baseball sold by Ebay seller 5thstreetpawnllc-5.
This is as ugly as it gets.
Anyone who claims this is authentic doesn't have a clue about autographs.

I know three-year kids who could have penned a better forgery than this train wreck.
