i had to save. when i was doing the hbo sports show I showed them a lot of bad mantles like this one. this comes from someone who did prvt signings and claimed to be a close friend of Mantle.


Shelly, you are a true joke as well as most of what you have to say. Can you 1st explain to our audience the issues with the autograph that you have just posted.

I have tried to avoid being involved in this thread but I do have to state that Shelly's opinion is held in high regard on this forum.
His accuracy is probably 90% or better on autographs he comments on.

Mike, here is a bet. $1000 sent to Leon. We will send this to Psa or Jsa and see if it is authentic or not. Put up or shut up. Money is being sent to Leon via Pay Pal if you take the bet.

That sounds like an interesting proposition coming from you Shelly.
I am not sure about the bet and have just a couple of question about this item in question.
1st- are you saying that this item came from me?
2nd- Was this item examined and authenticated by me?
3rd - Are you stating that is my Letter of Authenticity and my signature?
4th - What is the size of the photograph in question?
5th- Are you saying the Mickey Mantle and the Billy Martin on the photo are both forgeries?
6th - Are you stating that JSA and or PSA/DNA would be the deciding factor in the authentication.
7th - Who would you say would be more knowledgeable on this subject Jimmy Spence or Steve Grad.

The 2 guys talking about records need to quit. Other than that hopefully everyone will continue to remain professional in the debates. Interesting stuff...

Mike, have a great life. I think you have shown everyone on here just who and what you are.

Does this mean you are running away from the bet you were talking about???
By the way do you feel that the same person or people that signed the Mickey Mantle / Billy Martin photo you posted also signed this these ones or are these ones authentic?

Michael, I'm not trying to pile on here. I'm no expert, but even I know that the one that Shelly posted is REALLY BAD...
