What a joke.

Good eye! I didn't even notice that. That's funny (but sad).

Edited to add: He also has a '52 Mantle that has a frosted slab as well and a Yankees signed team ball with Ruth on the sweet spot. The ball has a sticker from a Heritage Auction, but if you look at the top left corner of the sticker, it looks like it's been removed.

This is a very scary thread. How many average Joe collectors would have just plunked down their money, placed the card in their safe and not known what they really bought for the next 40 years?!

The same seller has a 52 Mantle in psa 5 that appears to be fake also

The listing also highlights the item as a great holiday gift (if it were real, of course). I would love to receive a $9,000 holiday gift one day..........

After reading David's comment regarding the questionable sticker from Heritage Auction, I had to fire up my Google page. For some reason, this thread has really touched a nerve with me. The seller is selling a very expensive 1924 Yankee Team Signed Ball:

I have attached a scan of the sticker in question stating the ball was Lot 43098 in Auction #151127.

Here is a link to that particular auction:

That particular auction and lot number was for a Joe Dimaggio signed ball that sold for $131 on July 3, 2011.

I'm not an autograph expert, but once again, the sticker attached to the ball at least raises questions. I hate to keep questioning items from the seller in question, but it still is an active auction. The seller just placed it on Ebay this morning as a 1 day auction.

I have only had this experience with PSA holders. That does not mean other holders are foolproof. It just means that PSA holders are the easiest to compromise.

And man are they easy. A simple next step for PSA would be an adhesive in the flip area that makes cracked holders harder to reuse. I don’t think PSA cares.

Thanks for the help Christopher. Attaching pictures has never been my specialty.

You're welcome, Mike.

My point in showing both of those auctions was that someone in this thread had already pointed to the tampered label on that "1924 Yankees" signed baseball cube and yet the seller decided to list it again before researching if there is a problem.

I may be in the minority, but I have no sympathy for this seller. I do hope that the person who perpetuated this fraud is caught and penalized, but at this point we have no idea who that person is.

I know this is an old thread, but I was hoping to get some help from the community. A couple of years ago, I was listing some baseball cards, namely a Joe Jackson, and a Mickey Mantle rookie on ebay. It was brought to my attention that these were fakes, and I had several conversations with people on this forum pertaining to these cards. I no longer work for the company that listed these. The problem is...the owner continues to list fake items on his Ebay. Currently, there are at least three baseballs that are autographed, 1948 Indians ball, Joe DiMaggio ball with COA by Sports Collectors Inc., and Mickey Mantle ball, all of which I am 99% sure are not authentic. The Mickey Mantle ball was viewed by JSA and said to be not authentic. The owner believes that if he has a return policy on these items, that he is ok to sell them, however, they are still not real. Would someone on here look at the items and give your opinion and ideas to get these unlisted?
