Mantle autograph?
 
Hello everyone I need help with this auction. I know the first ball is legit because it's certified and I checked it out its all good. But the last two mantle balls can anyone help me out on those. I don't have a good eye on the mantle autographs can anyone tell me if the last two balls are legit or not.
Thank you very much it means a lot

What two balls:confused:

Adam,
Being Certified by PSA does NOT guarantee that the signatures are real. I'm not trying to start a fight, I'm just stating a fact. A PSA or JSA or any other COA is an OPINION. It is NOT a guarantee. They believe it is real, but that's it. The only guarantee you can get is from the seller. The guarantee they can provide is if they state that they will take the item back if it's every proven to be fake. I just wanted to clarify this for you and any new collectors who may read this.

All that being said, I do think the first ball looks fairly good. I think the other 2 balls look suspicious to me. I would not buy either of those two.
I am also wary of buying something that expensive from someone with only 2 Feedback, especially when their 2 feedback are from selling a bad Williams ball(open a) and bad (banana) Mantle ball.

Shelly,
use the arrow on the right of the small pictures and there are more pictures including the two he is referring to.

The second two are terrible.

I agree. The first one is good, but that's not going out on a limb. The other two are no good. The first clue should be the 1994 World Series ball. This almost always means no good. Both of the last balls lack smooth flow and are over drawn.

I think the second two have Greg Marino's fingerprints all over them.
