Ebay Seller Progets Sells Forged Signed Mickey Mantle Baseball NO 7

Once again this proves how easy it it to sell forgeries.

Check out the below forged Mickey Mantle on a baseball with the "inscription" NO 7 sold by Ebay seller Progets for a whopping $381.00.

Not only that, the dopey forger penned it on a Budig baseball.

If this was authentic, myself and a dozen other autograph collectors would have bid this over $500.00.

Does the buyer of the below forged Mickey Mantle baseball really think they purchased an authentic Mickey Mantle autographed baseball with the inscription NO 7 for $381.00!!!

This is why selling forgeries on Ebay is so easy with Ebay so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers.

The below is a typical and common Mantle forgery that I have exposed hundreds of times.

Here is that forged Mickey Mantle baseball sold by Ebay seller Progets $381.00.

I've finally decided to take your advice. A couple of years ago you had said,

I tried for years, and I mean years, to educate and to inform sellers of the forgeries they were selling.

All I ever got was "Mind your own business," "Are you an expert?," etc.

And threats!!!

Every Ebay auction reads "Seller Assumes All Responsibility For This Listing."

Period.

Also, it is very difficult to "explain" to a person who has zero knowledge of autographs why a particular autograph is a forgery.

Unless someone is totally dedicated to learning autographs and acquiring an "eye" for autographs, it is impossible to explain.

So, in closing, I'm done with that.
