Mantle and other Auto Help
 

I wanted to get some thoughts on these two Mantles. I have had a lot of good ones and a lot of bad and just wanted some thoughts on these.

Also I can not for the life of me figure out who these two autos are. The one of the right in on a Selig ball and the one on the left is on a Brown America League Ball

Feedback would be great. Thanks

The bottom left is Rafael Palmeiro, and the other I believe is a funny looking Michael Jordan(I'm honestly not sure). As for authenticity, I couldn't tell ya.

Can't say on the Mantles but the ball on the bottom left is Palmeiro, bottom right is Michael Jordan.

Don't believe the Mantle's are any good at all.

I don't like either of those Mantles, either... can you reveal the source(s) for these?

You can see the slownesss and wavering in the "flag" part of the M's. The left side of the first M is really obvious. NOT a good sign.

So assuming the Jordan is good what is that worth?

As for the source my dad bought part of a collection that came from a Dr that worked with the Yankees among other teams. There was lots of odd stuff and a lot of it was personalized directly to him.

He was apparently good friends with Whitey Ford and I had a bunch of odd/neat photos signed by ford. One example is a photo of Ford and Koufax shaking hands with Ford writing "This guy is the worst pitcher in baseball".

I suspect Ford would not write this normally and was just having some fun with a friend. That could make them good, but again they are all personalized to this dr. I probably have about 10 Ford photos like this plus a ball. I have no clue how to value something along those lines.

Both Mantles were part of this group of stuff. I have no doubt that the fords are good as is everything else that is personalized. The mantles stuck out however. I have two nice A-Rod Mariners photos with early signatures, but again personalized to this Dr......
