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 below forged Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio baseballs sold by Ebay seller Svbdevils for $695.01.

$695.01 down the toilet.

These are obvious and laughable forgeries.  I hope the buyer submits them to Beckett, JSA or PSA.

Ebay seller Svbdevils posted in their auction description "Joe D. was at a restaurant in Queens NY when I had him sign it.  Mickey Mantle signed it when I saw him at a game."

Two big lies.

Crap like this sell because Ebay is heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers.

The below forgeries were penned by a moron forger.
