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).

Check our the below set train-wreck forgeries sold by Ebay seller Thelames091.

The below forged Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Whitey Ford and Yogi Berra on a photo were sold by Ebay seller Thelames091 for $310.00.

What a waste of $310.00!!!

The worthless COA is from All American Authentics.

I have yet to observe an authentic autograph with a COA from All American Authentics.

Selling forgeries on Ebay is actually easier than selling authentic autographs because Ebay is so heavy-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse.

Ebay has profited big-time from the same of forgeries for over two decades and they don't care.
