Mantle with a ScoreBoard Cert

[kengoldin]

I do not like to comment from computer images, as it is never like being handed the item. That being said, this is not an authentic Mantle.

As posted previously, If anyone every has a question, feel free to email me at ken@goldinauctions.com

I have gotten several emails on similar questions, ,and the memorabilia and game used group here seems to be a nice group of guys and If i can help in any way I am available to do so.
regards
Ken
ps: in the future with these threads, always beneficial if you show the cert, as well as the unsigned portion of the ball

Not authentic.

Bad, bad, bad... Stay away. Without giving away any "trade secrets", just look at the M in Mantle. That is AWFUL. It's not even level.

Mantle is up there with Ruth and Gehrig as the most often forged signatures. Do a search and look at the Mantle autos that people on this board say are good. Study those. You'll figure out many of the common forgeries and mistakes/discrepancies they have. That's what I've done but I still get fooled sometimes.
