Default Mantle opinion

I'm no expert. A friend is wanting to move this. He bought it from a church member who claims to have gotten it in person. Your thoughts?

I do not think this one is authentic. The baseline looks really off, along with a few other things. It however is different than most of the non authentic ones we see. The ey is very different in the angle.

Looking at known authentic Mantle baseballs, the overwhelming majority of the time you'll see a nicely centered signature that fits entirely on the sweet spot.

On this example, note how the signature is not centered and wraps significantly around the side.

This is the "autograph side."

That Mantle is as ugly a forgery as there is.

My thoughts? I think the church member needs to go to confession!
