did JSA blow it?
 

Maybe not - these are probably 2 of the most highly submitted autographs out there and their forensics are pretty good. Regardless, even if it is real it just doesn't appeal to me.

They are correct IMO. The Mantle is definitely good. Aaron looks a little strange but I think they got them both right.

If I'm reading the COA correctly, JSA deemed the Aaron authentic, but the Mantle "inconclusive".

That's how I interpret the LOA as well.

I question the Aaron. I don't know if Aaron was real if someone would chance forging mantle. To me wither both good or both bad and I think both bad. The title is deceptive. It should say read carefully in the title

You are correct. I did not read the LOA, just looked at the autos. In my opinion, the Mantle is definitely authentic. The fact that they called it inconclusive is strange. I have never seen JSA deem a Mantle inconclusive. Bad, yes, many times. Guess they had a reason but the Mantle looks good to me. So in my mind, they did indeed blow it.

I'm not sure about the Mantle. It looks close, but he would rarely sign over his face. I'd think, even if Aaron signed first, he'd bunch it in closer to not sign right over himself.

The Mantle is authentic.
