Just look at what they did to this nice Mantle signature on a postmarked government postcard.

Is that Mantle real? What makes me wonder is the postmark, which shows what appears to be 3 zeros in a row. Even with part hiden, the middle one is for sure, as it's more than half there. The only dates that work at all are in the 2000's. It could be a "mailed from zip code" postmark, maybe 10002? But it looks like a handstamp, which would be unusual for a postcard.
Yankee Stadium is in 10451 and Mantles restauraunt is in 10019,so something mailed from 10002 seems odd. 10002 is bounded by bowery, St catherines, and E houston st.
