Mantle Signatures...Good or Not

[bbcard1]

The important thing to remember when seeking an opinion on a Mantle Signature is that everyone will tell you they are all bad because there are so many good bad ones, it's playing the odds.

The important thing to remember is that it would be nice if you actually knew what you were talking about.

These are all easy to spot well known cartoonish forgeries PERIOD!

How are those odds? Even with the pics that were provided, an amateurish semi collector could tell these are banana forgeries at a glance...AND there is NO DOUBT, so odds have absolutely nuttin to do with it.

All of them appears to be signed by the same person, but not by Mickey Mantle.

I was scrolling down to write something in line with your post, but a little more polite. Exactly what I was thinking though

Dude,
I am sorry, but being I was the first to reply, I take this personally.
What are you talking about? I gave an opinion based on the signatures being bad, not some stupid idea that "so many are bad these must be too." That is nonsense. I am not a sheep. I answer what I feel is correct.
I see you have been a member of this forum since 2009. I would think that you would've figured it out by now that people here are anything but politically correct regarding autographs. People call them like they see them. Usually pretty much point blank. Perhaps on other boards, where the knowledge base is lower due to being less experienced collectors, your theory might hold water, but not here.

To the OP,
Sorry for your brother, but those are bad, because Mickey Mantle didn't sign them. That's it.

Thanks to all for the opinions, it's just as I thought. All these years and I never knew that he had collectables. Now that I know we have a common interest, I'll keep closer contact and share my knowledge and resources with him.
