If you're just looking for the answer you want, then don't bother asking. Just stick it away and cross your fingers. I mean, that's what you're doing by asking here. You have a 50/50 chance of being right. And, in reality since 90% of Mantles are forgeries, you have a 10/90 chance of being right. If that's good enough odds for you, then great.

I've owned probably 30 Mantle autographs over the years. I'd guess that would put me in the top 5% on the board. I would NEVER lead anyone to believe that I could opine on Mantle autographs. The fakes are just too good.

He's saying it's not real because of the "Ms." The confined space of the signature (trying to keep it in the yellow and on the card) have to be taken into consideration. Considering just the "ickey" and "antle" portions of the signature, it's likely real. Not pretty by any means, but real.

agreed. I was thinking the same thing when i looked at it.
