Ebay Seller Battsandmitts Sells Forged Mickey Mantle Baseball For $429.65

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 "Mickey Mantle" baseball with a forged "536 Hrs" inscription sold by Ebay seller Battsandmitts for $429.65.

What a freaking waste of $429.65.

It's 2020 and people are still buying crap like this that was mass-produced in the 1990's.

Crap like this sells because Ebay continues to be heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers who have this notion that Ebay filters out the forgeries.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Ebay has profited big-time from the sales of forgeries for the past twenty years.

I will continue t expose this crap.

I've seen this same style souvenir ball on ebay probably 10 different times, being listed as authentic.
