How about this Mantle?

[earlywynnfan]

Not much hope, but I'm still no good at his sig.

Thanks, Ken

Lets see if I get this one right.

No

[travrosty]

some of the so called experts will chime in once enough people have agreed to make it 'safe' for them to do so and not stick their neck out. Then it will be the worst, horrible sig they ever saw, so dont worry. the cavalry is on the way.

[novakjr]

Not an expert, but I'll go ahead and say NO as well.

It is rare that my friend Shelly knows what he speaks of , but this one is no good.

[travrosty]

Glad to see Mr. Simon making a verdict on this one. I have posted a few in the past with the hopes of getting his opinion, but have only received crickets. His opinion is about is good as it gets...

I'm still learning how to spot fakes. I thought it wasnt authentic because the Mantle slides down. Is that a true tip off? Or am I making my own rules?

It's not about "this" and "that." It's about the "trained eye" for autographs.

It's not something I can describe; it's about years of looking at and studying autographs.
