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 forged Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Duke Snider bat listed by Ebay seller Dreek44.

As you can clearly observe, these are laughable and penned by a moron forger.

Ebay seller Dreek44 writes "I have been collecting autographs since the 1960’s and pride myself on the authenticity of my items."

Seriously!!

Look at this crap.
