Posted By: <b>Scott Jeter</b><p>there are fake UDA cert's out there. Having said that, UDA did have Mickey Mantle under contract before he passed. They produced, for the most part, signed balls and Mitchell & Ness jersey's. Holograms on items produced before 2002 are not in the UD database. You can call customer service to verify. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>They spelled Mantle - Mantel? Just a typo or attempted fraud?

Posted By: <b>Scott Jeter</b><p>DOH! <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Even more of a reason to call their customer service and enquire. They may be able to tell you right away if they really made that mistake or not. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Scott

Posted By: <b>shellyjaffe</b><p>The mantle is real and so is the cert. You are correct all you need to do is call uda and they will tell you that this is a Mantle autographed ball.I will tell you that people do take off the cert on a cheap ball and then but it on a forged expensive ball or jersey. Then they say that they only have the holo gram on the item.

Posted By: <b>Cap</b><p>Has anyone tried typing in the hologram number in the Upper Deck database on the web site for verification? For some reason, it comes up saying that no number exists.<br /><br />Cap<br><br>Well, I quit my job so I could work alone, Then I changed my name to Sherlock Holmes- Bob Dylan.
