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 out this forged Mickey Mantle/Ted Williams baseball sold by Ebay seller Tis007 for a whopping $355.00.
Below is a link to another thread on Ebay seller Tis007 when he was Ebay seller Tivan077.

One of the biggest scams on Ebay for the last 10-15 years is Ebay sellers of forgeries using an old/copied/edited Scoreboard COA to sell their forgeries.
This is not a Scoreboard product!!!
With Ebay so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers, it does not shock me that this garbage sold.
These are laughable forgeries, but selling forgeries is easy on Ebay.
This forged Mickey Mantle/Ted Williams was penned by a moron.
Look at this crap.

Again, laughable forgeries and not a Scoreboard product.
Here's another forged Mickey Mantle baseball listed by Ebay seller Tis007.

It's amazing; with the wealth of information out there, people are still buying garbage like the crap above.
Disgusting.
Hi Christopher:
It is a lot of work sifting thru ebay every day and pointing these forgers out. Most of the buyers on Ebay are not viewing what you write on this site just as the buyers of Berkels stuff are not looking on this site. It seems fruitless, but I will keep on pushing. I haven't bought any autograph on ebay for over ten years because most of the items were junk. But I remember that ebay had people or companies reviewing autographs and suspending accounts or throwing people off. In fact, I believe that ebay threw Brian Berkel off many years ago. So my question to you is: does ebay have any employees or proxies reviewing the listings. Can you or I report an obvious forgery to ebay for review.........or is it every man for himself??? And who is the worst forger on ebay ripping people off the most still active today. Perhaps I will help you out if we ever get rid of Berkel and Sapphire Investments
Thanks for your hard work
