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).

With all of the information available, how in the world does someone purchase the below mass-produced forged Mickey Mantle baseball for $530.00!!!

Who pays $530.00 for garbage like this!!!

$530.00 down the toilet.

The people that bid on crap like this assume that Ebay filters out the forgeries before they are listed; Nothing could be further from the truth.

Sold by Ebay seller Tlcs-estatesales. 

A long time ago I stopped feeling sorry for people who buy garbage like this.
