Sorry to ask this...but real or not?

Found this in a drawer with other things I was getting ready to put up on the walls...almost forgot I had it. This one I got from a buddy back in about 87 or 88 and he can't remember if he got it signed or purchased it. Even though I've got several in-person Mantles, I still double clutch when it comes to authenticating him but this time a couple of things kinda caught my eye as possible flags. Could I please tap your knowledge with some opinions of good or not? Thanks guys.

Mantle sig looks labored to me.

Mantle is no good

Clunker. Sorry.

Thanks guys for confirming my suspicions. No big loss...like I said, it was a gift back in the day and was just sitting in a drawer. Mantle was so easy to get in person back then that I didn't even give it a second thought...or look for that matter LOL. Oh well, thanks again.

you don't even have to look at the Mantle.All you had to do is look at the Killebrew.

Ah shit Shelly, it's one thing for me to be a little gun shy with a Mantle, but I do know Killebrew very well and I should have noticed that. Once my eye went to Mantle, it was all over for me. LOL
