Mantle signed (by someone)- Burczyk photo sells for $5

[RichardSimon]

This photo with an autograph purported to be Mickey Mantle, and a Nicholas Burczyk COA, just sold for $5 on an auction site that I won't publicize here. Just suffice it to say that the ebay sellers of Burczyk stuff are buying much of their stuff on non ebay auction sites and then flipping the item over to ebay.
It is one great Ponzi scam.

Tom Tresh 2's video really made a lot of the Burczyk "COA"s. hopefully, the word will get out fast, and people will NOT buy any of these. The fascinating end of our hobby, autographs, just keeps getting more polluted by this crapola.

That Mantle looks like the same ones that GAI has authenticated in the thousands.

The only thing I can write is that the hobby is now flooded with literally tens of thousands of questionable (yes, forgeries) autographs. People are buying them on those "other" websites for between $5.00 and $20.00 and looking to "get rich quick" by flipping them on Ebay. These are people who know absolutely nothing about autographs and have even less common sense.
