The fact that none of these photos has a COA or "Provenance" is of great concern. Who would sell or buy a Maris/Mantle photo without some form of proof that it was in fact signed by these legends? I can tell you who would sell them like that.......

"Provenance" does not allow "by her father, who was a serious collector of baseball " as unfortunately there are hundred and probably thousands of stories like this.

Do some research about the FBI Operation Bullpen (late 1990s - early 2000s) and you will be floored and unfortunately you will see how many forgeries exist out there.

I will not offer an opinion directly as that is not my realm (try PSA/DNA, Richard Simon, JSA, or SGC).

I'll just end it like this, the sheer absence of any type of COAs is not a good sign at all.

Peace, Mike
