It's not the greatest but basically the positives outweighed the negatives.
Since this thread has had such lively discussion about the Mantle specifically, can you share with us any other details on it, or where it originates, what dealer had it, private party, auction, etc? Autographs can usually stand on their own, and should, but background when available can often make the puzzle easier to complete.
