Here is an early Mickey Mantle photo from the archives of the Miami Herald. I have four different photos of him fishing, and each one has "Mickey Mantle" written on the back. I bought these from the John Rogers group at the National convention a couple of years ago.

I know little about autographs, except that Mantle's was frequently forged. I also know that his early signature was different from his later one. Could this be authenic, or was it just his name written on the back by an employee of the newspaper or someone else?
