Mickey Mantle - Opinion
 

Hey Guys,

I was hoping for a quick opinion on this Mantle signature. Let me know if you can help me out.

Thanks,
James

Not a great picture to judge from but . . .

The start of the "M"s oddly look like barbed fish hooks. Not sure that I have ever seen that before.

And it looks like the last name is "Mautle"

It could just be the picture though.

There are other sigs on the ball?

It's an early Mick signature by the M's and K, obviously. Mid-late 50s? I don't know the finer points of the older Mantle sigs like his card show signature from later life. As Tim asked, who else is on there? Is it a 50's Yankee ball?

It's purported to be a 1964 ball.

The Mantle sig looks very similar to the Mantle on the following ball that is deemed to be a clubhouse signature:

It's a clubhouse. A common one from the 60s.
