You know I'm a follower since day 1. I have been more focused on your plight now you've taken it "Global" with the all the questionable Mantle GAI, Burczyk and of course the Stat/TTA garbage. Some samples of the forgeries below.

The photos of these fakes are always the same tired poses with the most horrible of signature in the worst possible place. The one thing that the backers of these fakes fail to take into account is that Mantle was an artist with his signature, not a hack. Mantle figured if someone was paying for his signature, he'd give them a good one, right ON the "perfect spot" too for the particular photo he was signing. Besides the phony Burczyk version signature being off in 4 different points (that I can see, time and time again & I'm NO EXPERT), they are frequently in a bad spot on the photo as well or don't take up the entire "sweet spot" of the photo, like in the 4authentic photos I have had signed in person in the late 80's and early 90's and the 6 others I've purchased since..... these are all penned perfectly. They are all in person, JSA, PSA and UDA.
This fish tale going around about Mantle signing these for Scoreboard and thinking Burczyk was a "great guy" are pretty funny. Also, "JSA & PSA trying to control the market" by not certifying this version. Please elaborate about this story and how Greer Johnson was involved. Did that skank have anything to do with these. Did Mantle actually claim that he penned these... in court? What about Dimaggio not being able to tell his real signature on a ball from fakes in court? Does that make those fakes real? I'm confused. All I know is that this Bursack, GAI, STAT breed of Mantle, I'm not buying. They look NOTHING like the ones I had done in person and no where near the PSA, UD, or JSA version that they are certifying as Authentic.
Keep up the Videos. I love the passion and the message, stutter or not.
I especially love the part of the video when you show the obvious forgery and say "I don't know what that is". Thanks Fonz, AAAAHHHHHEEEEEEEE
