Question for the experts
Hello all,
New to the forums here so a quick hello to all. Here is my question. Posted this over at the eBay forums and it was suggested I also post this here. There was a discussion thread over there about COA companies that are not allowed due to shady offerings. Asked a question about a mantle auto from the company Stat Authentic LLC. My brother picked this up at an auction house last year and if memory serves paid about 85.00 dollars for it. This was not the only auto in the bunch but this is the only one with a COA . There was a jeter, and some other players from football , baseball, etc. I am more interested in the mantle. Before I go any further my photos are on my iPad which I am using. How can I upload the two pics. |

Welcome to the forum. The Mantle is fake. Stat is an unreliable company.

Yeah, no good on the Mantle...but the generic laminated COA is pretty impressive!

Thanks everyone for the input. Was really unsure at the time of the auction and let my brother make the call on purchasing the lot. Did not have an iPad then like I do now.

Ted Taylor (TTA/Stat Authentic) has a permanent position on Ebay's Banned COA list.
And deservedly so. |

From the bottom of the t in mantle all the way to the end of the e in mantle, you can basically draw a straight line along the baseline of those letters, a real mantle is more bouncy and not exactly straight like that. It's just one of the tells. In a real mantle the e in Mantle usually dips down below and the end of the e is usually shorter and doent tail way off to the right in a straight line and the line you can draw underneath those last three letters won't be exactly straight like i have shown here. Look how exactly straight that the red line is and it is perfectly underneath those letters. as a general rule, a real mantle isnt like that. oops i just helped the forgers.

As I said I did not make the call on this one, I said pass as I did not have an iPad as I do now so I could look it up and do more research. I do appreciate the responses though.

$85 for a Mantle signed photo is a good deal but not unheard of. It does not "scream fake". I'v bought many authentic Mantle photos for less than that.
