The "Loop" does throw a monkey wrench into some forgeries that are really good at doing that style, but of course his signature changed and there are many variations. The loops were beautiful and hard to find authentic. Here's one of my favorites with the loop from my collection. Ironically, it's the only Global certed item in my collection and rarer than a signed beatle album Last edited by Fuddjcal; 03-19-2011 at 09:15 AM. |

When it comes to any Mickey Mantle autograph you cannot just look at the "M" in his first and last name. One of the biggest problems the forgers have is getting the "N" right in Mantle. Most of the forgers have their "Mantle" looking like "Mautle." When you sign your own name you don't even think about it. It's a natural flow. Forgers have to "think" about what they are doing. They may work very hard at getting one part (or just one character) right but then the next character or following characters eludes them. And that's where they mess up.

This is a very good Mantle, Chuck. The forgers can't get this particular Mantle right. The forgers Mantle always looks like "Mautle."
