<p>What are your thoughts on this Bobby Brown Mantle ball? I got it a few years ago on craigslist for around $200. It does not have a COA. Any input would be great. Thanks…</p>

<p>Charles, I got into this discussion late, but I hope by now you understand and believe that this Mantle ball is a forgery. When you ask "how do you tell it is slowly signed", that tells me you are a novice at collecting autographs. One does not need to be a Mantle expert to see that this is slow and shaky, no fluidity. </p>

<p>That's why selling forgeries is not only lucrative, but it's easy and the scammers know it.</p>
<p>And Ebay doesn't care; if anything, in my opinion, they are an enabler of this crap by doing nothing about it.</p>

<p>Definitely a fake. 99.99% of Jordan signed jerseys are from Upper Deck. Jordan had an exclusive contract with them. He may have signed a couple during a golf event like the Mario Lemieux event years ago. Aside from that, the signature is not his.</p>
