What say you ?

Hello Ted,

I'm assuming you're talking about the card you originally made the thread about? In any case, you would be correct, by the 1980's Mantle had perfected this look of his signature



While in 1950, Mantle's signature was very different by the standards we have come to know it by.



Sports collectors digest put out a very in-depth article detailing the history and changes of his signature. It's a great read, I will link it below!
