Mickey mantle Autographs from 1953, 1962 and a hof ball
 

Like everyone else I hesitate to have an authentication company grade my autographs. I have some great autographs and if it is ok with all here I would love your opinion on them. I am not looking to sell just to share and here what all have to say. The first ball is a 1953 Mantle autograph that I have no idea why there are so many diverse autographs on it. Other than the hof on there I would love input who the others are.

thanks to all.

forgot a few pictures.

From my limited exposure to Mantle's signature, the one on your" '53 " ball does not look correct for the date. The M's in Mickey's signature where straight in every authentic autograph that I have seen from '51 and '52. In '53 they changed somewhat in overall form, but at least one M was still of the straight variety with no underlying loop.

i am guessing at the date just by the names on the ball.
