Below you will find a forged Mickey Mantle/Billy Martin photo.
The worthless COA is from Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators (GFA).
Since their inception in Sept. 2011 I have yet to observe one authentic autograph with their COA. Not one.
Here is the forged Mantle/Martin photo.
As you can observe these are obvious forgeries.
These are mass-produced forgeries that were produced over a decade ago; we first observed them on AlwaysAtAuction.com who then changed their name to AtAuction.com. The aforementioned also sold forgeries to AAFES (Army Air Force Exchange Store). Yes, they sold forgeries to our military.
These were produced on ink-jet paper.
What are the odds that Billy Martin, who passed away in 1989, signed this photo?
Zero!!!
Mickey Mantle passed away in 1995. What are the odds that he signed this inkjet image?
Zero!!!
Here is the listing.

Here is another listing on Ebay with the same image, same forgeries and same cheap framing from Mr. Florida.

Here's another one.

Closer view of the forgeries.
When these were produced, the majority of them were intentionally cheaply-framed to deter anyone from submitting them to a TPA (Beckett, JSA and PSA).
If you were to remove the above items from the cheap frames you would easily be able to determine that they were produced on inkjet paper.

Poor fakes on cheap inkjet prints encased in a gaudy display. The worthless COA is the cherry on top.
This is what is known as putting lipstick on a pig.
Exactly, Steve. Like we've been writing for years; "Lipstick On A Pig" with the cheap framing and copies of forgeries produced on inkjet paper.
