- Seller replies, “I got it my freshman year in high school, so it was 1992. I just approximated the time period.”
- I replied: “You were off by 10 years. “
- He replied, "I swear. Don't believe me. I don't care. I know what I got. I even have a picture somewhere of him signing it. I'll find it and post it.
- Three days later, he sent me this picture of Mickey Mantle signing his ball (Picture on the left)
- I replied, “That is just a picture of Mickey Mantle signing a ball. Not signing your ball.”
- After a quick internet search, I found the picture he copied, which shows Mickey Mantle signing a ball in 1988. I sent him the picture I found on the internet, and nothing but silence, because he got caught.
When they lie in their auction, and continue to lie thereafter, they are a scammer.

I had a similar exchange with the seller.
Check this ugly "Mantle."
