Need help on this Mantle please...

This is bad and there are other Mantle inscribed versions using this same forgery style. You’ll also find it on bats. Some originated from American Memorabilia in their early days and had 100% Authentic coas. No authenticator will pass this. It’s a quick fail just like other common Mantle forgery styles.

Forget all the writeing on the piece. Are you saying the signiture is a easy forgery?

Shelly, I'm not going to post anymore on this. As you can see from my post count, I normally do not post, because I realize how pointless it is to get into a back and forth debate on a message board.

I've said it will fail third party authentication by JSA, PSA/DNA, Beckett in a heartbeat. Anyone who buys/sells/deals in Mantle will recognize this to be an instant fail. I've suggested a simple $10 Quick Opinion by psa or Beckett would settle this quickly.

As far as the autograph itself, take a look at how exaggerated the motions are within the signature. Take a look at the content. Do you really think Mickey Mantle, when he was alive would just add these type of silly inscriptions attacking Joe Dimaggio over and over? And these attacks only appear with this type of handwriting? And of course, these never come with any reputable TPA certification?

I've given Leon my contact information so he knows I'm not some message board troll.

I appreciate what you are saying. I have my thoughts on this as you have yours. Let it end there.

The answer to that part of your statement is 100% yes. I do 100% believe he would write anything you wanted if you paid him to do so. I have seen Mantle write all sorts of things, both appropriate and not, over and over again. The man had no filter often times.
If you want an example of how inappropriate he could be, just look at the questionnaire from the 1973 Old timers/Yankee Stadium celebration he filled out. It was Sold Last year for $242K in Lelands auction.

Certainly, If her could write that to the Yankees, even as a joke, he could write things about Joe D, especially if he was being paid.

We all know who penned this one and it wasn't Mickey Mantle!

I agree with Mr. Zipper on this, I also believe it is a forgery.

Thanks Zip,

Yeah, I'm not liking this one and it has some of the characteristics I usually like, though contrived. I certainly respect your opinion and you've forgot more about the autograph industry than I know. A cut above "forgery" to be sure from the cartoonish ones.

In the end a Dog shelter that I am sure can use the Money benifits. Post the shelter info please. I will make a small donation just for the Mantle Education, and because I love Dogs. My life has been much enhanced by having Dogs in it.
