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).

Here is yet another forged "500 Homerun Club" baseball that sold on Ebay.

It was sold for $395.99 by Ebay seller Mar-kubi.

What a freaking waste of $395.99 for this piece-of-crap set of "500 Homerun Club" forgeries.

It's 2021 and people are still buying garbage like this; but then again, with Ebay so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers, it is actually easier to sell forgeries on Ebay than authentic autographs.

Ebay is a haven for sellers of forgeries, and as we all know, Ebay does not care.

Here is that forged "500 Homerun Club" baseball sold by Ebay seller Mar-kubi.
