COA GFA Rocchi Forged Mickey Mantle Baseball Ebay Coinfinder58

Check out this pathetic and horrific Mickey Mantle forgery on a baseball listed by EBay seller Coinfinder58.

This is really putrid.

And guess who the bogus COA is from?  You guessed it:

Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators (GFA) headed by Steve Rocchi.

This is pure garbage, but crap like this gets listed and sold on Ebay because the sellers of this garbage know that Ebay is heavily populated with wannabe autograph collectors, suckers and impulse buyers who know ZERO about autographs.

Ebay seller Coinfinder58 has sold numerous GFA-certed forgeries.

Check out the below laughable item description from Ebay seller Coinfinder58.

A five-year old could have done a better job than this.

And yet this was forensically examined by Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators (Steve Rocchi).

This is the same crap that is usually "authenticated" by Chris Morales, Drew Max, Ted Taylor, etc. 

Forged Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays baseball "authenticated" by GFA and Rocchi.

The below is what we call "lipstick on pig."  This is one of the original thousands of forgeries sold by John House of AtAuction with the cheap framing and laughable forgeries.

None of these were hand-signed forgeries; they are copies of forgeries produced on inkjet paper.

As a scientist, that is offensive!  LOL.....the only scientific proof that an autograph is real, is if you see it being signed with your own two eyes

Right. You can scientifically prove something is not authentic. For example, the medium or ink did not exist in their lifetime. But it's absurd to suggest these so-called forensic experts can scientifically prove something IS authentic.

Someone will probably put their new Mantle on their mantle and tell all their friends they got the "real" deal because GFA said it was so with this nifty tamper-proof authentication!
