Scott,
In post 9 Chris reported very demonstratively that Mantle never signed bats for Scoreboard. If that is true then any Scoreboard COA for a bat signed by Mantle has to be fake.
If you ask why someone would do this, well, perhaps someone has a real signed Mantle bat but can't sell it for as much as they think they should. They could try to add a fake Scoreboard COA and increase the final sale price.
That's how I took it.

Mark, it was rhetorical. I completely understand this thread and I think I explained myself perfectly in my first post; however, I thought there was a small chance that his question was based on a genuine failure to understand my post, so I responded honestly and thoroughly.

This isn't my ball, I don't bid on such things, and I have no skin in this game. My posts aren't going to affect the purchasing behavior of those of you who are into such things, so I'll respectfully visit other threads.

Scott,
Sorry, my bad. Didn't get the rhetorical part.
