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 sold by Ebay seller Danishguy0.

This crap sold for $425.00.

A total waste of $425.00!!!

Ebay continues to be a cesspool of forgeries.  Sellers of forgeries are very aware that Ebay is heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers.

Forgeries are a huge business on Ebay.

It's 2021 and people are still buying worthless garbage like this!!!

This crap sells because Ebay is heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse.

And the buyers on Ebay have this notion that Ebay filters out forgeries; nothing could further from the truth.  In my opinion, Ebay encourages the selling of forgeries but doing nothing about them.

Look at this 1990's mass-produced Mickey Mantle forgery on baseball sold by Ebay seller Danishguy0 for $425.00.

I hope the buyer submits this "Mantle" to Beckett, JSA or PSA.

They will deem it a forgery in a millisecond.

Worthless COA from "Autograph Authentication Services."
