Mickey Mantle Autographed Baseball Forgery Ebay Seller Joeylic247

Here's another ugly Mickey Mantle forgery found on Ebay.

Ebay continues to profit from the sale of forgeries, as it has for the last 18 years.

This horrific-looking Mickey Mantle forgery on a baseball is listed by Ebay seller Joeylic247.

Ebay seller Joeylic247 writes "This item was signed in person at an autograph show in the early 90's when auto grading was not popular as it is today so it does not include a COA. I will guarantee the validity of the item and accept a return within 14 days ONLY IF this item's autograph validity gets rejected by PSA/DNA and JSA grading services. A proof of the rejection must be provided for the return. I stand by my products as I personally obtained the autograph in person."

No way Mickey Mantle signed that garbage in person. Both PSA and JSA will reject that autograph in a millisecond.

Love how the new trend is to "Guarantee it's real unless PSA/DNA or JSA deny it!"

"The Auto Scouts" do this. Worst case, 1 out of every 50 forgeries they sell someone sends off to get authenticated by PSA/DNA (fails obviously) and they have to refund one purchase. No big deal to them.

Common forgery, and blatant lie by eBay seller Joeylic247

is this a Budig ball? I saw one recently on ebay, and it might have been this one, that said it was signed in the early 90's. But it was on a Budig ball, making it impossible to have been signed at that time. not a big deal, but with the obvious forgery at hand, another hole in the story.
