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.

The group that penned the Op's Commerce Comet Mantle also penned this one (forgery):

Shelly, I do not know if SK was involved or not.

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?

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.

Ever been sued Dave?
I have been sued twice by guys on the other side of the autograph business for talking about them to others.
And even though both suits were dismissed, my lawyers still had to get paid many thousands of dollars.
When you want to cover Chris' legal fees I am sure he would be happy to give you the names of some of these people.
