Thoughts on this Mantle auto ball

[David T.]

My brother recently was given a bunch of old autographed photos, cards, and postcards.
The postmark on the postcards are from 1957-58.
I meant to bring them home and scan them but left the at his house.
There was also two baseballs included.
Just like some opinions on the Mantle signature.
Thanks in advance.
David

I'm not an expert, but hope it is real!

His autograph and handwriting looks authentic.
There are as many forgeries as there are real Mantle signatures, but who would fake a Mantle with "To Dennis" on it?
Unless someone sent it through through the mail to Mantle and a ghostsigner signed it, but I doubt it.

My name is Grant but the Mick calls me Dennis. Thanks for finding my ball after all these years!

My thoughts exactly. Premium money is for a SS signature with no personalization, so if you're going to go to the trouble of faking a Mantle autograph, why short yourself out of hundreds of dollars and SP it with a personalization? The personalization is also written by the same person who signed it. The "n's" look the same in Dennis and Mantle. With that said, I by no means, am a Mantle autograph expert.

It's probably real man

looks good to me and I've owned quite a few of them.

Looks exactly like mine....minus the Dennis part!

I have a few IP Mantle balls and this one looks good to me.
