Mickey Mantle Forgery On Ebay. Totally Ridiculous.

Sorry guys, but I had to post this one. Ebay seller "Andrewdrew5479" listed two of the below Mickey Mantle forgery. Looks like a fifth generation copy of an original Mantle photograph with an absolute hideous-looking Mickey Mantle forgery. Also, his title description reads "JFK" when it should be "RFK."

An absolute hideous Mantle forgery.

WOW!!! I can't help but laugh at those...Hideous isn't strong enough. I don't think there's been a word created yet than can describe those properly..

Greg, thanks for asking, but I think my days of doing YouTube videos are over. I think I did close to 200 videos. They were getting redundant. The same stuff from Coach's Corner every month. If I was a viewer of my videos, I think I would have gotten tired of seeing the same crap exposed month after month.

But thanks for asking.

I love the attempt...obviously the "Mickey" part of the signature didn't go too well, so why not hide the "Mantle" part in the upper deck...no one will notice, right???

GrayGhost 10-02-2011 05:21 PM

At least Chris had the picture. One of the most putrid Mickey's out there. Anyone that thinks they can get away w that, and anyone dumb enough to bid on that crap needs to be forced to watch a years worth of Championship Bocce

Pity he didn't also try Kennedy's signature in blue sharpie. That would have been priceless!

This one is just as bad a forgery as the one I first listed. Only $999.00 for this piece of garbage.

After watching the Giants lose to the Seahawks this afternoon, I was in a really pissed off mood, so I searched for bad Mantle stuff to post.

I needed to vent.
