Mickey Mantle Ted Williams Signed Photo Forgery EBay Seller Deatonizer Forgeries

Here's another Ebay seller (deatonizer) listing some of those "Florida" forgeries on Ebay.

Here are two auctions. One contains a set of Mickey Mantle/Ted Williams forgeries. The second auction lists a Mickey Mantle forgery.

These forgeries are listed by Ebay seller deatonizer.

Ebay seller deatonizer is probably another one of those sellers who purchased these forgeries from a local auction, charity auction, estate sale, Proxibid, AuctionZip, etc., and hoping to flip it for a tidy profit on Ebay. These are sellers who know ZERO about autographs.

Comment by david deaton on March 17, 2013 at 3:04pm: These were purchased at a local sports auction and I am almost 99 percent sure to be authentic.I have been ebaying for around 10 years with the same account I wouldnt jepardize that to make 40 bucks.The pics are realy not bad just the ink looks darker than they are.These are actualy done with a blue felpoint pen.I have also been to a few of these same auctions in fact I am a cosighner for this AH and I also run a 10 x 10 booth at the bird cage antiques mall.I am in the process to send a 8x10 500 hr with all 11 autos on it to psa to get it dna because it thought to be fake.I realy work hard on this stuff cause it is my hobbie and it is what I love to do.Any fake or flaw in my Ebaying I always give 100 percent refund back.I also sell coins which I have just adapted to and I have made a mistake on the listing and refunded that as soon as the buyer let me know the deal.Hey,everyone makes mistakes but I try not to make many.I am not out here cheating anyone just trying to make a little cash off the thing I like most.Please email me at deatonizer@comcast My name is Dave and I am not a phony.Just trying to make an honest living.Thanks

Comment by Null on March 17, 2013 at 3:24pm: These are 100000% well known horrific forgeries. Sorry David.

Comment by GraphingMlb on March 17, 2013 at 3:24pm: Those look horrible...I sure am glad these guys are getting called out and made aware that they are being monitored!!

Comment by terrier8HOF on March 17, 2013 at 4:02pm: David, post them here before you list them and you can get opinions on these items. the ones you have listed are well known, documented forgeries. They may look authentic to you, but they are off and they are consistently off in the same area every time, which is the downfall of any forger.

Comment by CJCollector on March 17, 2013 at 5:12pm: You gotta be kidding me, David!!!

You're "99% sure they are authentic!!!" Seriously!!!

Those are "Florida" forgeries that we have been exposing for the last few years.

It's people like you, who know ZERO about autographs, that are helping to ruin the hobby, but crap like yours devalues the collections of collectors who own authentic autographs.

Comment by CJCollector on March 17, 2013 at 5:13pm: "Autographs are your hobby?" Find another hobby, David.

Comment by CJCollector on March 17, 2013 at 5:29pm: If David was really concerned about his reputation, he would have taken down his two auctions.

They are still active.
