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).

Look at this laughable crap sold by Ebay seller Crsm_5064.

Someone wasted $402.00 on the below laughable (forged by a moron) baseball of Mickey Mantle.

Who the hell spends $402.00 on crap like this!!

The worthless COA is from Star Authentic, LLC.

Once again this proves how easy it is to sell forgeries on Ebay with all of the delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers.

If you have zero knowledge of autographs, Ebay is the most dangerous place to purchase autographs.
