Newbie needs help...

HI, I am brand new to the board, and I am looking for some input on a piece I may be purchasing from a private collector.  After doing my google research, you guys seem to be extremely knowledgeable and pretty kick ass when it comes to spotting and exposing fakes so I am starting here.  The item is an 8x10 autographed by both Joe Dimaggio & Mickey Mantle.  The picture has a COA attached to the back, but I have been reading about a lot of fakes out there of these two together as well as these two with Ted Williams.  Any and all input is GREATLY appreciated.  I really don't want to make a very costly mistake.  Pictures can be found here...

Stay away from that crap.  Bunch of typical forgeries. 

Signature Dreams COA.  Too funny.

Thanks for all the input, after all the research I did I figured it was a "pass" but I wanted to double check...It would have been a barter deal and not an actual sale, but value is value.  You guys rock.  :)

As a sidenote...I also emailed "Signature Dreams" last night and got a response this morning...

"That COA number if from a long time ago....we are issuing holograms in the 8000 range right now....We had a computer problem around 2007 and lost all our previous archival records....I may however have a picture of it in another database...Can you describe the piece...Mike"
