			At least the first name is very close to one that I have. Especially the "K".

			My gut reaction is the signature appears carefully and deliberately applied. Probably not a coincidence it was done in pencil, which doesn't bleed or show signs of slowness as much as pens. Secondly, doesn't the "collector's notation" on the album page seem a bit "manufactured"?

			[QUOTE=Mr. Zipper;1638160]My gut reaction is the signature appears carefully and deliberately applied.  FWIW IMO I agree with Mr. Zipper I like the Mickey but not the Mantle if it is possible to like one half of a signature but not the other half . |

			I believe there was a thread about this mantle maybe 1-2 years ago.
