JSA Came To Town
I submitted 8 items for full LOAs and 7 of the 8 passed. The only item that did not pass was a Mantle ball I got from a guy I know who told me he got it in person. I had no reason to doubt him as I was perusing his collection he was upfront about what he got in person and what he thought was sketchy. He had a DiMaggio that he told me a friend gave him and he wasn't sure it was legit so I passed on that. I did post the Mantle ball here when I got it a few years back and everyone here liked it. I got a Ted Williams ball from him the same day and it passed.
I took my 1914 Boston Braves photo album that was signed by most guys on the team including Evers and they passed all player sigs but could not verify the mascot Willie Connors aka "Johnny Boston Beans".

Care to post the Mantle here or link to the original thread? Somewhat curious. JSA is pretty good at passing Mantles.

Sorry to hear about your bad news, but would like to see a picture of the Mantle as well.

There is at least as 50/50 chance they are wrong and the board was right, from what I have seen in the past.

not sure why jsa is still popular...at this point it's almost better to buy something raw then have the jsa opinion.

I'd like to see it as well. I'd be surprised if they failed a good one, unless it was a very atypical example.

Here it is. He (Erik Santomauro) told me he thought it was written too slowly.

Here is a link to the original thread when I got these. Everyone who commented on the Mantle ball gave it a thumbs up. I recall getting PMs also giving it the thumbs up.

I don’t love that Mantle either, it looks heavy handed and slowly drawn. Could it be good? Maybe, but I actually agree with their opinion on this one, unfortunately.

I wonder if the ink has something to do about it. That doesn't look like a typical ballpoint. Might be influencing how it looks like it was signed.

I can see why this was failed.
This is a good example of an item that looks good at arm's length because the "shape" is right. Closer up, it becomes apparent it has a labored look.

Exactly, this one is much closer than most, the fact that JSA failed it is definitely a plus to them for doing their job right honestly, because st a quick look it appears like it could be good.
