Mickey "Charles" Mantle Forgery Autographed Baseball Ebay seller farmfreshpicks

I just had to post this one on its own thread.

Here we have a listing for a Mickey "Charles" Mantle autographed baseball.

This is one horrific Mickey "Charles" Mantle forgery. This forgery is listed by Ebay seller farmfreshpicks.

It's amazing how sellers like this want to profit from forgeries like this one, but yet they always have a disclaimer that reads "We cannot always guarantee working condition, etc."

In this particular case, the seller writes "Signed during the World Series in 1978." Is the seller claiming they were present when Mantle signed this baseball?

The seller's title reads "Authentic Mickey Charles Mantle Autographed Baseball....."

Both PSA and JSA would reject this in a heartbeat.

Comment by Richard S. Simon on October 19, 2012 at 5:09am: Signed on a 1978 World Series baseball,,, the 99.999% tell tale sign of a forgery.

Comment by Steve Zarelli on October 21, 2012 at 5:10pm: Or the Mantles on the 1994 WS balls are almost always fake. I believe this is a Mike Lopez forgery... although I never saw a version with the middle name before.
