Default Help with Mickey Mantle autograph
I took a chance at an auction today and bought this Mickey Mantle photo with no paperwork. At the price I paid I figured it a gamble worth taking. Can anyone here help me decipher whether or not it’s authentic?

You can't ask for help if you're going to post a small photo like that.

Looks like a Florida forgery with a Morales hologram.

I apologize. I did this from my phone earlier and it gave me all sorts of problems. Here are some better pictures of the auto and plaque as a whole.

How do you post bigger pictures? These are ridiculous.

Really? Can you help me understand what makes you so sure? I'm not doubting you. I'd just like to be able to tell myself.

"Y" do you ask?

Wasnt a sleuth on these boards talking about the slant on the Y and it should not be straight up and down?

I agree that the Y in Mickey looks off.

On a side note though, that is one of the few pictures Ive seen of Mantle with a batting helmet. He seems to almost always be in the baseball cap instead. Just a little random thing I noticed. Hope I'm wrong and you got a great piece, but Im inclined to agree with most of the other posters here

You are doubting him and it so blatantly obvious to those in the know. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you get what you pay for.
