The autograph in the first link appears fine.
Personally, I think Mill Creek is a very reputable outfit. I also think they are very expensive.
$499 for a smudged Mantle ball isn't a good deal in my book.
If you want a Mantle ball that is guaranteed to be real or your money back, I would consider contacting Richard Simon or Jim Stinson.
Rich is a board member. I don't think Jim is.
Both have excellent reputations and expertise. Both are also very reasonably priced. I don't mean cheap, but very fair.
Good Luck,
Mark
