Playing Devil's Advocate: (with lots of sarcasm) And we all know auction houses have never made a mistake, right?
Playing Devil's Advocate to the Devil's Advocate: Kelly's article only mentions 3 HI matchbooks with two different Mantle pictures on them. But we know there are at least 7 variations with the two pictures. His articles also don't mention all of the Country Cookin' Matchbooks with different addresses. So, even Kelly's articles can't be considered the final say in what authentic items are out there.
Like Ben says, "who "really" knows." Once you have it in hand, you'll be the best judge regarding it's authenticity.
