Mantle opinion please

[HOFAUTOS]

That Mantle is fine

[bobbyw8469]

That Mantle is horrid....are you selling those?? Is that why you are pushing off bad signatures as good?

[HOFAUTOS]

Why would you comment on a thread(s) when you obviously have no clue what your talking about when it comes to autographs?

[Duluth Eskimo]

Well, I agree it's good too. Maybe I'm missing something, but I would buy it if offered to me.

[bobbyw8469]

If you buy it, pay with credit card and send it to PSA QUICKLY....that way you can get your money back when they determine it's no good.

That Mantle is fine.
Who cares what PSA says? If they say it's bad they have no idea what they are talking about.

lmfao...OK buddy....if PSA says it's bad, it's really good because they don't know what they are talking about. Pay big money for it! Just ignore people saying that it's bad.

[Lordstan]

Well. So far only 2 people have said it's bad, you and Kevin. 4 people here, so far, and JSA, as it comes with a letter from them, have said it was good.
So your opinion is currently in the minority. Considering I own over 100 Mantle signatures and actually collect autographs, I think I'll take my opinion over yours in this matter.
Perhaps if I have a rare Boston Red Sox yearbook, I'll ask for your opinion.

Why would you send it to psa? You have some of the best people on here telling him its good.

That Mantle is authentic.

[Terrier8HOF]

Looks fine to me. In fact, very nice example.

Absolutely.

[Sophiedog]

Yes I agree that the Mantle is authentic. He cared when he signed and his placement was always right on. It's a card so it's not like he's got unlimited space to sign. Very nice example

[bobbyw8469]

I got a real one if you want to use it as an exemplar. I met him when I was 15.

[RedsFan1941]

nice mantle. a-OK!

[chaddurbin]

man i hang out on this side to get away from guys like bobby on the main board...why is he over here spewing his nonsense? go back over there and don't come back.

I'll weigh in. I think it's authentic. But, it's not typical for the most common type and could definitely throw folks off who might not study his signature quite in depth. From the ones I have owned, I am going to assume this one is late 1970's to maybe early 1980's? There was a period of time that the Mick signed with a really really small "y' in his first name and this is near that time. I personally would not have any issues buying or selling this example. No slight intended to anyone who has posted their opinion, but I have gotten railed on this before. People who don't really know autographs as their main area of expertise can post on forums and really affect both buyers and sellers. Just like the BST section on Net54, the autograph section is starting to become caveat emptor unless you know which are less empty than others.
