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).

Now let's examine the below forged "500 Homerun Club" baseball sold by Ebay seller Joeylic247 for $310.69.

The seller's item description reads that it failed JSA authentication.

It's a no-brainer set of forgeries that are laughable and penned by an idiot forger.

Now even though the seller wrote in their item description that this piece-of-crap failed JSA, should the seller have listed it!!!

Of course not, in my opinion!!!

Was the winner of this garbage someone who paid $310.69 to "display" it, or was it won by a scammer who will list it on Ebay without revealing that it failed JSA authentication?

99% chance that it will be flipped by the buyer and this garbage will continue to circulate in the hobby.

Ebay should have removed it, but they don't give a crap about forgeries.  They have profited from forgeries for a quarter of century.

If you're a seller that sells forgeries, the safest place to sell forgeries without penalty is Ebay; Ebay is a safe haven for those that sell forged items and the sellers of forgeries know it; the sellers of forgeries are also quite aware that Ebay is heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers, an that over 80% of those that purchase autographs, buy forgeries.

Here is that piece-of-crap set of "500 Homerun Club" forgeries sold by Ebay seller Joeylic247.
