I know it is disheartening to find out something is not authentic.
I bought MANY bad Mantles, Dimaggios, and Williams in the late 1990's on Ebay with worthless LOAs.
I had to write off thousands of dollars because it was a few years before I actually studied autographs enough to know real from fake on those autos.
At least it did not cost you $300 to get bad news.

Good Points here. I think we all learned that way. I have looked at 100,000+ Mantle's and can tell at a blink, real or Fake 99.8% of the time. It goes down slightly for Dimaggio and then Williams. Then, I just stopped because I got bored doing the work and was sick of seeing all the scammies going unchecked.
Having 100 + Mantle balls and photos, I only have so much storage and display space.
plus, I'm a Dodger fan.
