Default What do you think of this Mantle sig?
Posted By: Mark

Agree on both counts...

The signature is authentic. Just a slip of the pen, hiccup, or perhaps he was interrupted during the act of signing.

Also.. to DJ's point, I don't know for the life of me why people pay such a premium for these contrived cards. I have seen Connie Mack cards with a $165 cut signature sell for over $1,200 and Al Simmons Cards with a $200 cut signature sell for close to $2,000.

Who are the people buying these things anyway? Don't these signatures look a lot nicer framed/matted with a nice photo (for about 1/8 the price?) Seems insane!
