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 the forged baseballs listed by Ebay seller Ajeffor1.

First, a link to their listings.

Look at these laughable forgeries.

This once again proves how easy it it to sell forgeries on Ebay; with Ebay so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors, scammers and impulse buyers, selling forgeries is actually easier than selling authentic autographs.

It's 2023 and people still assume that Ebay filters out the forgeries before they are listed, and nothing could be further from the truth.  Ebay doesn't care.

I hope that some of the people (these aren't true autograph collectors) that buy this garbage, submit them to Beckett, JSA or PSA.  All of these will fail.

I won't post photos of all of them (you can check the above Ebay link for all of them).
