Most common forged Mantle on ebay
 

Posted By: <b>shelly</b><p>This is by far the most forged Mantle being sold on ebay. Don't forget it has hologram so it must be real.<a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=27265&item=5162507 848&rd=1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=27265&item=5162507 848&rd=1</a><br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>dennis</b><p>Jack,i thought it looked good too,maybe because it looks like mine(which could be a fake)---but this does not have the "if they say it's real,it's real" stamp of GENUINE from psa/dna? the first m in mickey looks a little weird--mantle signed more auto's than anyone in the history of the world and always gave a good effort.

Posted By: <b>Billy</b><p>Yep thats a fake.<br /><br />added, The sig looks bad, plus no way that ball can be that white from 10 years ago. I have a Mantle I got signed in person at a show, and the bobby brown ball it is signed on already has a slight discoloration to it. No doubt this one is a fraud.

Posted By: <b>Richard Simon</b><p>Like that Ruth-Gehrig ball that was discussed on this board recently, I bid 25 cents. And don't top my bid please <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>. I like to pay 25 cents for these kind of autographs.<br><br>I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

Posted By: <b>J.McMurry</b><p> WOW! a COA from My Favorite Player,Inc.,with matching holograms!!!!!! You know its gotta be real! If my eyes don't deceive me,I believe the ball itself is a cheapo unofficial, "rubber cover" type. Can't see anybody shelling out Mantle's fee to get that thing signed. Richard, I believe you overbid by $0.24, tsk,tsk... and you claim to be an authenticator. jk,lol

Posted By: <b>jackgoodman</b><p>since I don't consider myself one. And I agree that Mantle was normally a class act who tried to give a decent autograph each time. But, we all know he had off days. I obtained both of these autographs in person. One time he was in a good mood, one time, not so. That's the only reason I thought the thread sample looked ok. But as I said......There are those that have done this alot longer than I have. sorry the pix are so big.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.mlbvintage.com/pics/uploads/mantle1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.mlbvintage.com/pics/uploads/mantle2.jpg"><br /><br />
