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 laughable forged Mickey Mantle photo (with the forged inscription NO 7) sold by Ebay seller A1colectr for a whopping $127.50.

$127.50 down the toilet.

This is as ugly and laughable as it gets.

Once again this proves how easy it it to sell forgeries on Ebay.
