What’s amazing about this Mantle early playing days signature is that it’s remarkably similar to his facsimile signature in the box, which actually is the signature Topps used from the player’s contracts for these cards. It actually memorializes Mantle’s signature to his playing days.

That’s an interesting factoid. So if they used signatures from the contracts, why is the “e” in Mantle’s Type 1 52T signature different from the one in these Type 2s? I understand the other design differences, but not the signature.
