Chris has not come on here yet so I asked the one person I trust as much as Chris.
Here was his answer.
My initial reaction was it was good, but that second photo he posted is giving me some doubt. Don't like the first M. And the e at the end has a long tail... It usually cuts off short. Wavy baseline too. The other issue is that it seems overly large. His sig usually doesn't wrap all the way around the ball like that, does it? Usually you can see the whole thing in one photo easy.
I gotta say, I'm not sure. It's either an odd ball real one, or a forger fired one off and came pretty damn close.
He feels the same way as I do.
I know some of you thought I was kidding about the fact that Mantle signed more balls when he was drunk than sober.
Think about it. I had him at show in Los Angeles and he could not stand up. Yet when he signed a ball it was perfect.
