Here's a common forgery-style and mass-produced forged Mickey Mantle baseball.

It was sold by Ebay seller Hamptonroadscollectibles for $225.57.

That, in itself, should have been a red-flag to the buyer who should have asked themselves "Why did this clean baseball sell for such a low price?"

Now you see why below.
