The same can be said of Joe Dimaggio.
This includes not even signing a personally owned bat for me.
SB did have a large QTY of Dimaggio bats for sale, but they did not come with SB certificates. They were the limited edition #d of 1941 bats that were sold to HSN, and then I acquired by trading HSN trading cards for the bats. Those bats were marketing with a notarized LOA and NOT a SB cert.
if anyone ever tries to sell you a Mantle OR a Joe D bat with a Score Board cert, if is fake.

Ken,
I can 2nd that , I lined up a private signing once with Mickey Mantle on the phone with Greer Johnson. He was at that time in Atlanta. We worked it all out on the phone and it was a done deal. I could hear him barking instructions in the background. Then I told her I had a Mickey Mantle bat that I had when I was a kid and would he sign just that ONE bat for me during the signing and I would never sell it. She said flat out NO. And I could hear him saying "No bats". And I said One bat ??? answer NO ! I took it personal it broke the deal and man ......I wish I wasn't so hard headed
