I gotta say I've been impressed with Mantle's humor. He's got some funny inscriptions out there.

Gotta say, as the owner of the unfunny ball in this thread, I am dying to learn more from thetruthisoutthere. If it's a forgery, at least I hope there's a story to be told about it.

Not "if". It is for sure a forgery. Though it looks better than Greg Marino's.

Spiral--

Sorry, but your ball is not even close to authentic--a real poor attempt for sure!

I would be willing to guess that the person Chris is talking about is S.K.

Yes, Mantle did pen a few unique inscriptions, but the majority of them are forgeries penned by the group.

OK I just spent 30 minutes reading the entire thread and have one question:

Why is the group or the forger's names being held back?

[Big Dave]

Chris always does that. States that he knows who the individual and/or group is that does a particular style of autograph, but never states who it is. Take that for what it's worth, without showing any proof of anything.
