Personally the photo is the closest, but still no cigar. I don't like that everyone used the same fine point blue sharpie, because while all the auto collectors now love those fine sharpies, I'm not entirely sure when they started making them. To have Mantle there it would have to be pre 95', also when were all three of these guys signing at the same time? They all used the same pen. The big thing to me also is Teddy Ballgame's "T", I don't like that loop at the top at all.
The scorecard is shady as hell. If that's supposed to be Mantle's sig or Maris, I would drop it right back down on the table.
The Joey D on it's own looks close, but really I don't think I would take it based on everything else.
My humble opinion is pass. This guy sounds like he took everyone's word on what he was getting.
I'm just an amateur though, someone else I'm sure has some better info. Just my two cents based on what I would think standing at a show table.
