Help please with this Mickey Mantle sig

[Scott Garner]

I'm hoping to recruit the Mickey Mantle autograph specialists in the group.

My friend Mike Cohen collects signed dollar bills of HOF players. Unfortunately he has already been burned on a Mantle and Joe D. signed bill that I posted about 1-2 months ago.

He is still looking to add the Mick. What do you folks think about this Mantle signed bill?

Thanks in advance for your help and expertise. I have no confidence in offering an opinion on his signature myself....

At first glance to me, looks pretty good.

Thanks Scott!

Looks very good to me as well. If it's a fake, it is better than 99% of those out there...

It's a beautiful Mickey signature. Note how he avoids the signature infringing on Mr Hamilton's image too

The capital M's are what made me think Good right away. Beautiful, and you don't see the pressure changing or skips, etc either.

Chuck, Mark & Scott,

Many thanks for your help on this. I really appreciate it!

hmm. It's awfully close to this signature which is considered fake. Mantle's are tough.

not only is it considered fake...it is a fake.

The 2 look nothing alike. Please look again. ESPECIALLY the "Ma" interaction.

Also look where the fake was signed. Mantle would never sign that particular photo in that spot, IMHO.

From what I've learned reading this board the up flick on the M in Mantle is a good sign. I don't see that flick on the magazine. But I do see it on the dollar bill.

yes thanks to the board i saw some differences at first look also.
