With the passing of Whitey Ford today (Rest In Peace) I have observed a ton of forged Whitey Ford items.

With the passing of any athlete, the flood of their forged baseballs, photos, footballs, etc. begins on Ebay.

Here we have Ebay seller Bargre_8423 selling numerous forged Whitey Ford (and Mantle, etc) items.

The majority of these are the "Florida" forgeries.

They are produced in Florida.

Over the past 10-15 years, there have been approximately three to four dozen worthless "Florida" COAs.

With Ebay so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers, forgeries are a huge business/industry on Ebay, and as well know, Ebay doesn't doesn't give a crap!!!

Here are those "Florida" forgeries listed by Ebay seller Bargre_8523.

This is basically a copy of a set of forgeries produced on inkjet paper.

In other words, worthless crap.

Worthless and cheesy "Florida" COA from Championship Memorabilia.  

More crap!!!

The below link shows sixteen forged Whitey Ford items listed by Ebay seller Bargre_8523 immediately after Whitey passed away.

These people have no conscience.
