This ad really is funny.
It states that the MSRP is $1800 and the ad is offering this Mantle for $895.
First of all, the seller is a moron, all the Birdsick-Mantle pics that do sell on ebay sell for below $100.
And second of all, the phrase MSRP is hysterically funny. The manufacturer of these "autographed" photos is suggesting that the retail price is $1800. A manufactured autographed photo,,, very well phrased, draw your own conclusions. Ya' gotta love the term manufactured.

I'm only posting the cream of the crop for you Richard. I am only here to amuse you.

Here's another amusing fact. This beautiful $1,800 MSRP sold at $2.25 on e-bay. Then, when they relisted it at, they got negged.

Thanksgiving Tip#2.... When you see Mickey "At the Plate", please jump into a cold shower and step away from the computer.

Fuddj, I can see your $2.25 Mantle and raise you $1.00 Mantle's and Williams' on some of the non ebay sites. I have seen Mantle and Williams photos go for $1, yes one buck.
But they scam you on shipping , $13 per photo to ship and no combined shipping.

For the Holidays, you know the mental midgets will be out. Here's a little segment I like to call MORON OF THE MONTH! Here's a guy who takes the Birdsick scam a bit further by clarifying the "Compare AT" Value. Let's meet E-bay Seller qualityservicecounts.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=180594239432

Thanks so much for the clarification qualityservicedummy, but could you kindly tell us who the COA is from? Well let's see, you Uncle Miltyed the Always at Auction Ad and all they do is sell these as Birdsick Forgeries. Could your COA be from Dr. Birdsick?

Lets all ad "The Portrait" to the Mickey Mantle items to avoid on E-bay.

Let's Review Fudd's Tips for the week:

Tip #1-AVOID "Up Close" as they call it. When ever you see Mantle posing in this shot, the minute you see that toothy grin , run for the exits! I have yet to see a real signature on this toothy grin photo.

Tip#2.... AVOID. When you see Mickey "At the Plate", please jump into a cold shower and step away from the computer.

TIP #3 If you see Drew Max-AAU on any autographed item... RUN LIKE RABBIT with Thorn in Paw, very fast.

TIP #4 Please AVOID any Mantle Ad that includes: “Favorite Portrait”- this is the highly sought after Gallo shot with the most mangled of all butcherings of Mantle's Signature...Disgusting.

TIP#5 PLEASE AVOID any Mantle, Dimaggio or Williams Ad that includes the other catchy phrases :"Breaking Babe Ruth’s World Series Record ", "3 in 1 photo", "Poses with Bat", “At the Plate Close-up”,“Over the Dugout”, “Holding His Bat”, Home Run Club Pwr Swing”, Standing Tall with Bat. THESE ARE ALL SCAMS AND THIS GUY HAS 'EM ALL!

I simply don't trust any autograph anymore and refuse to purchase any. I'm far from an expert, but if you give me a pen and 1000 vintage cards, I wonder how many fake autographs I could get certified and slabbed if I did the proper research on what those players signatures looked like? I'd hate to venture a guess. All I know is 20-25 years ago, you rarely ran into autographed cards at card shows. Now, the market is absolutely flooded with them.
