I get that's why you're questioning it, but take each signature as a whole, they are a bit atypical but the flow of the signature is right as is spacing, letter size and speed, one small piece of a signature being slightly off doesn't make it bad, it takes a while but your on the right track.

Here is a better pic of the first name if that sways you.

I know it is on a budig ball. that does not effect my opinion. The Mickey now that I see it straight on really makes me very hesitant to say it is authentic. I will hope that Chris chimes in as well.

Not unless that's the drunk Mickey Mantle

I am still not sure if that ball is bad or not. Just should not have jumped in without being sure.
Kevin just so you know. Mickey could sign drunk better than he could sober. He was only sober a short time before he died. Some of those autographs where a little bit off but most where perfect.

All the bs of his being drunk was just an excuse for a bad forgery

Kevin, just curious. Is this your first time giving an opinion on Mantle?

[Kco]

Yeah now that I can see all of Mickey, I Would like Christopher Williams opinion here

After taking a break and looking at it again this morning, I am pretty sure it is not authentic. The A in Mantle is just not correct. I have never seen one signed like that. I think it is a pretty good forgery. Good example to have up on the board

The A did not throw me off. It was the e that made me look at it a lot closer.
That is why this site is so much fun
