This is for Chris or Steve Z.....

The latest Mantle posted, is a Highland Mint piece.

Are fakes/forgeries a common/major problem with their items?

Yes, Steve. I have observed dozens of those Highland Mint pieces combined with a Mantle forgery.

The Highland piece appeared like a fake to me for a few reasons, but the n resembling a u was the first thing I noticed.

More to the point, I googled it earlier this evening, before I saw these posts and it appears Highland was a straight up company; however, criminals hijacked their pieces, I assume because it offered great cover. Is that basically what happened?

As for me, I still stick the JSA, PSA DNA, stuff for myself. Just bought a Mantle JSA piece tonight on Ebay.

Kind of funny that they might have a better chance of slipping by WITHOUT the hologram! The forgers need to get some better fake holograms to keep up.....

Has nothing to do with the hologram.

It's only about the autograph.
