Mantle signed ball with UDD Sticker? Authentic?

[mrbillscollectibles]

I pulled this ball from a bin we bought a few years ago.. does the Mantle Signature look genuine? I cant find out who the sticker is from to authenticate online - any help appreciated. Upper deck database did not find the # when I searched, but the holo sticker logo is a block "A" with a starburst background.. Thanks in Advance!

anyway you can put another picture with the full signature in the picture and a little closer so we can see the full signature.

It is an authentic Upper Deck baseball. Most of the earlier holograms do not show up in the Upper Deck database.

You can sometimes send them the complete hologram # and they can verify it but for certain it is authentic.

Back in the 90's, Mickey Mantle was a guest at the Tuff-Stuff show (I miss those shows) in Richmond, Virginia. Upper Deck was authenticating each item signed for the unheard of price of "free". A few years ago, I plugged the authentication number in the UD database and the item was not found. So, I emailed UD and they informed me that items before 2002 are will not be found in the online database. What they needed to verify the verification!

"Hello,



In order to verify the authenticity of an item, we need the following three things.



1) Hologram Number

2) Description of the Item

3) Name of athlete who signed the item.



Without all three of these, we are unable to verify the item’s authenticity.
