Default My turn to ask about a Mantle Ball please
I would appreciate opinions about a Mantle Ball that my friend Shawn has been offered. I've got my take, but I don't claim to be very good at The Mick's sig. The ball is a Bobby Brown, FWIW.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Wow are those M's shaky. We can narrow down the forger to two people, either Michael J Fox or Muhammad Ali...

Shelly,
Yes, the seller actually had several legit signed balls of more common players- Ryan, Carew, Musial, mixed in with the fake Mantle ball and the legit Mantle Greer Johnson sig.

Not a bad idea, the buyer would then believe they are getting a "package price" but really getting crap thrown in
