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).

Check out this obvious and laughable forged Mickey Mantle baseball sold by Ebay seller Magz709 for $875.00!!!

Who the heck spends $875.00 on this crap!!!

This crap is laughable!!!

Ebay seller Magz709 writes in their title description "UDA W/NO 7 inscription."

First, this IS NOT an Upper Deck Authenticated product!!!

Second, the seller posts a photo of an old or copied Scoreboard COA.

This IS NOT a Scoreboard product!!!

But because Ebay is so heavily-populated with delusional autograph collectors and impulse buyers, selling forgeries on Ebay is easier than selling authentic autographs.

$875.00 for this garbage!!!
