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).

This is incredible that someone paid for the below forged Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio photo for $480.00!!!

$480.00 for this garbage.  $480.00 down the toilet.

It was sold by Ebay seller Raro-4970.

With all of the information available these days, who in their right mind would spend $480.00 on something that they have zero knowledge of?

Look at these horrid-looking forgeries.

Here's a forged Mickey Mantle photo listed by the seller.  Yikes!!!
