mantle Maris signatures

[Mr. Zipper]

As others have stated, these are generally accepted by knowledgeable collectors and dealers as mass-produced fakes that trace back to a source in Florida. This style is typified by an unnatural drawn look, and when you see them in quantity, it’s obvious they are cookie cutter duplicates.

They are flooding the market with these and the Safe at Home image is one of their favorites to use. I have seen more Maris + Mantle dual signed items in the past 6 months than I have in the previous 10 years combined.

By the way... the photos from this source appear to be printed on high res inkjet photo printers. Printers that did not exist in the lifetime of Maris or Mantle. So much for the so-called "forensic experts" who routinely certify this obvious rubbish.

Absolutely.

Amazing how Stephen Rocchi went from a card grader at PSA to a "Forensic Examiner" of autographs.

The sellers who sell that GFA-certed crap, post all kinds of claims about Rocchi and autograph authentication.

There is no proof that Rocchi was ever involved in autograph authentication at PSA.

And those Mantle/Maris forgeries with GFA certs are laughable forgeries.
