Mickey Mantle signature. Is it legit?
 

Hi guys. Any opinions on this signature would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I would say no.
If you want exemplars, look through my photo bucket site. You will see many examples, every single one of which was signed in front of me, at various shows through the 1980's.
Use the main page link (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v222/lordstan/)
Click on any of the following links on the left hand side
# 50yrs of Yankee All Stars
# 1982 Kmart
# Brooks Robinson Set
# Hall of Fame Heroes Compl...
# HOF Yearbooks
# Kaline Set Highlights Signed
# Mantle set
# Sport Magazine
# TCMA All Time Greats
Any of these will have Mantle sigs in them

Hope it helps,
Mark

Here is one that I got in person in 1987 for reference.

Totally fake.

I'd also say no. Even with a hangover Mick signed better than that.

No go.

Agree.... no good

Ok. Thanks everyone. This is being sold at a local auction tonight. I guess I won't waste my time going.

I think this signature is too close with his first and last name, seems a bit odd - I agree with some of the above

I always look at the "tle" first in trying to figure out the real ones. Once you have seen many examples of real sigs, the fakes are easier to spot.
