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).

Below is another example of an Ebay seller using a Scoreboard COA to sell their Mickey Mantle forgery.

One of the biggest scams over the last ten years is for sellers to use an old/copied/edited Scoreboard COA to sell their forgeries.

Scoreboard did not sell forgeries!!!

Below you will observe two forged Mickey Mantle photos in which the seller is using an old edited/copied old Scoreboard COA.

These are no-brainer Mickey Mantle forgeries.

These are not Scoreboard products!!!

Forged Mickey Mantle/Ted Williams photo.  Again, this is not a Scoreboard product.
