haha...thanks, the animations didn't show up in original one for some reason. I appreciate you chimiing in Shelly ( as well as the rest of you)...Let's see if Jim, Richard, or Chris care to comment before I explain why I posted.

Reading other Mantle threads, I thought the "banana M's" were a sign of a bad Mantle sig, so I would have thought this one was bad... This is why I paid a premium to get my Mantles from a dealer I trusted implicitly!

These are "banana M's".

Looks good, maybe he signed it while walking. A couple of blips but enough of the right stuff to feel good about, IMO.

Thanks for the comparison post, very noticeable difference when viewing them side by side.

Shelly knows the Mick as well as anyone.
They closed many a bar in their youth .

You call them banana m's I call them the quarter moons.Either way they a crap. Richard, Mickey could drink almost any human under the table. The only ball player that put him to shame in that era was Billy Martin
