Anyone else watch this lot in Heritage? I've never seen Mantle sign as "Mickie Mantle". Are there others out there?

It's not "Mickie". It's a pen skip.

Pen skip? It looks like an "ie" to me. I figured maybe it was signed after a long night and he misspelled his own name.

BillyCox3 is correct, it's just a pen skip. Mantle made his "y" in the direction I drew in the arrows on this scan. If you fill in the missing part in the autograph (like I did with the dots), you can see it was supposed to be a "y". Sorry for the low tech example but figured it was better than trying to just use words to describe it :)

If you look at the signed Mantle card posted by Richard Simon in the April pickups you can see the same style of 'y' as in this postcard.
