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).

Here's another set of Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams forgeries on a baseball.

These are mass-produced forgeries.

The moron and amateur forger who penned these, penned hundreds of these.

These are obvious and laughable forgeries.

Stay away from this crap.

Even though it is 2020 and there is a ton of information on forgeries, people continue to bid and buy garbage like this, and that's because Ebay is so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers.

People have this preconceived notion that Ebay filters out the forgeries; nothing could be further from the truth; if anything, Ebay is an enabler of this crap by doing zero about it.

Here is that forged Mickey Mantle/Ted Williams baseball listed by Ebay seller Flagsquare.
