If you really need a detailed explanation on why the original photo is fake (I suspect the OP does not actually care and will try to resell this trash regardless), there are a couple of easy tells, including:

1. The 'a' in Mantle has an open loop which authentic signatures never have.

2. The Snider signature is incredibly shaky and slow - you can see where the forger stopped and started (he was probably inexperienced with imitating Snider).

3. The Mays is a style employed commonly by forgers and doesn't match the style of signature Mr. Mays commonly used in the 90s when this would have been signed. Also, it would have been somewhat unusual for Mays to stack his first and last names on a photo instead of signing in a straight line, that style is more common on cards and items with limited space.
