Default Mantle sanity check, please :-)

I recently added this to my collection, and I was 99% comfortable with it.

The seller told me he obtained it in-person at a card show and all his material looked 100% legit. It has all the hallmarks of a show signature... signed quickly and a little "loose" ... all the little "tick" marks are there. Looks very natural with no stops and it doesn't conform to any of the common fake styles.

The only thing that gives me any pause is the M in Mantle... it's a little more "dramatic" than the second M usually is. Yet I suppose that would fit if he was tearing through a stack of photos at a show.

I'm asking for a final sanity check before I file this one away. Thoughts?
