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).

It's incredible that it's 2023 and people (not true autograph collectors) are still buying garbage like this.

Check out the below forged Mickey Mantle photo sold by Ebay seller Pizzybob7613 for a whopping $66.00.

This once again proves just how easy it is to sell forgeries on Ebay with Ebay so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse.

It's incredible to think that people still assume that Ebay filters out forgeries before they are listed; nothing could be further from the truth.

I have no words for this piece of garbage.

Who in their right mind bids on crap like this!!!!

Ebay seller Pizzybob7613 also sold the below forged Mickey Mantle for a whopping $15.00.

Worthless COA from Nicholas Burczyk (On Ebay's Banned COA List).
