Exactly, this one is much closer than most, the fact that JSA failed it is definitely a plus to them for doing their job right honestly, because st a quick look it appears like it could be good.

Williams and Mantle never appeared together in Minnesota. Both did appear here at the State Fair grounds show and I was at both appearances getting many of each. I believe they were here maybe a year apart. Both for $20 each if I remember correctly. I mostly remember Williams signing a friends baseball then bouncing off the table back to him. Ahh, the good ole days.

Well it may have been a year apart, I don't know he just said he got them at the Minnesota state fair. I may have assumed they were at the same event.

Ok. Kind of strange. The form looks good, but the flow is terrible. I can see why they failed it. I have autos including balls signed from that event and he was signing as good as ever. I remember the promoter being worried he wasn't going to get his money out of it and trying to sell groups to dealers later in the signing. The beer was flowing for Mantle, but generally that was never a problem for him signing.

I was one of those who gave it the "Thumbs Up."

The original scan from the other thread is fuzzy and this one is very clear.

JSA did right in rejecting it.
