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).

Once again this proves how easy it is to sell forgeries on Ebay.

With Ebay so heavily-populated with impulse buyers and delusional autograph collectors, selling forgeries on Ebay is easier than selling authentic autographs.

Check out this laughable forged Mickey Mantle photo sold by Ebay seller Nickellgaragesale for $117.50.

What a freaking waste of money.

The worthless COA is from Chris Morales who is deservedly on Ebay's Banned COA List; and from what I can observe, Ebay no longer enforces their own Banned COA List.

Morales, who has "authenticated" thousands of forgeries, is called Chris "I Never Saw An Autograph I Didn't like" Morales.

Look at this crap!!!
