I believe the Mantle signature that most people know him for was started in the 1960s.

Are you saying that this style does not look authentic to you?

Or are you thinking that the 1951 written below the signature is meant to represent when it was signed?
It's obviously not a 1951 style signature. But I believe the "1951" is meant to indicate the year the photo was taken, not when it was signed.

That is a modern day mantle. He did the year in a lot of his pictures even though he was signing it many years later.

I am definitely not an autograph expert! I just know that Mantle's signature evolved over the years and this was an example of his later style.

You would get a lot more reasoned (and some kneejerk) responses if you post this in the autograph sub-forum. Not all of those guys venture upstream to the main memorabilia forum here.

To whom it may concern...Thanks for moving this to the correct forum & thanks to those who mentioned that it was in the wrong place.
Sorry for the mistake; I don't know why I didn't realize it.

And thanks again for the comments.
