I'd like to see the entire piece, but I personally would not buy it. Too many red flags for me.

First, I'd like to know why he stacked his name across his face?...only a moron would do that, not Mantle....unless he was trying to squeeze his signature with a FAT sharpie? It looks like hell, IMHO and the flick up from the "M" to the "a" doesn't look cartoonish in it's attempt, but just not done quickly, like a usual flick in his upward motion. The open a, while not totally remarkable, but the fact THAT IT'S LEFT THAT WIDE OPEN, with a gigantic sharpie doesn't sit well with me. I don't like the "ic". especially the short c. It has a special curve to it when it's that short, even when it's a minuscule signature with a big fat sharpie...90% of the time the top of the k will even up with the tail of the y. This one is short. It gets about a 1 of 10 on my FUDD 10 point must system.

This photo is a clear "PASS" IMHO. and that's pass like pass-up, do not buy. most probably and most likely, FAKE.
