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 bat listed by Ebay seller Xtremesportspromotions.

This is freaking laughable.

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!!!

Mickey Mantle did not sign bats for Scoreboard:  Fact!!

You would have to be a moron to bid or buy crap like this.
