Any thoughts? Look authentic??
Thank you! |
Anyone? I personally don't like it, but would love to hear from the experts.
|
I don't like it. There seems to be a lot of hesitation and formation issues.
|
First thing I'd do is ensure that type/brand of mitt was available when Mantle was alive. If it was, it doesn't help move anything forward, but if it wasn't, then that's the end of the story.
|
No opinion on the signature, but a beautiful old glove and, I assume, original box. Nice. Show more of them please.

I see the hesitation but still think it's good.
Agree that the medium is unusual and more challenging to sign than a ball or flat. The glove is authentic and of the era, and is so incredibly nice that I believe Mantle simply took great care in signing this piece. |
Furthermore....
That Mantle Glove (Mint in Box) is worth a lot of money without the sig. I really doubt that someone would deface a Mint Glove in Box with a fake autograph. It's too risky, and much too desirable an item to mess with... especially since the Mantle auto doesn't even increase its total value all that much. |

I think the signature is good as well. I agree with Mark on the value of he item and unlikelihood of someone attempting a fake auto. The auto looks good with some slight deviations which would be expected from someone trying to sign a leather glove.

Just a thought
When Mantle was upset, did he sign gloves on the third finger?
|
I don't buy the signature for a minute. It wants to be good, but I'm nota likin it.

:D:D:D Frank you never fail to amuse me! |
As others have mentioned, I would have no problem with that signature as well.

I never liked the silver sharpie especially on a glove, so maybe I'm just a paranoid schizophrenic? after review, No maybes. Curious what other "Mantle guys" might think about the OP silver sharpie glove? |
