One of the biggest scams on Ebay for the past ten years, is sellers of forgeries using an old/edited/copied Scoreboard COA to sell their garbage.

Scoreboard never sold forgeries.  Period.

Check out this laughable crap listed by Ebay seller Buckner.

Forged Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams baseball.

Not a Scoreboard product!!!
