I have stated in several of my posts that I have little knowledge of baseball HOF signatures other than what I got in person in the 1980's and 1990's. I enjoy looking at all of the posts asking if it is real as it is a learning experience. One particular point I have noticed in almost all of the Mickey Mantle forgeries that is not present in the legit signatures is that the 'y' looks like an upside down 4. It appears than Mantle was casual with the upstroke on the 'y', but all of the forgeries have three very straight lines with the upstroke being pretty much perpendicular to the cross stroke. Is this one of the points that those familiar with his signature look for?
I ask questions to learn. Open eyes and open mind.
Cheers,
