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).

Someone actually paid $399.99 for the below laughable "Mickey Mantle" forged baseball.
It was sold by Ebay seller Wbsportscardemporium.
This, as well are aware of, is a common and mass-produced forgery-style.
$399.99 down the toilet.
An authentic Mickey Mantle autograph on a 1994 World Series baseball with the inscription "NO 7" would easily sell for over $1,200.00.
The worthless COA is from Drew Max/AAU.
I have never observed an authentic autograph with a COA from Drew Max.
My gut tells me that the buyer will attempt to flip it on Ebay once they receive it.
Here is that forged Mickey Mantle baseball with the forged "NO 7" inscription.
I have zero sympathy for the person who bought this garbage.

Drew Max is gone, but the mass quantities of horrible fakes he rubber stamped will live forever as his legacy.
For sure, Steve.
A Legacy of certed forgeries by the thousands.
Here is an interesting and factual article about Drew Max.
