Default Mantle Opinion
Hey everyone,

I know there are constant questions about Mantle autographs on the board so I am sorry for bothering yall, but I was wondering if y'all would mind weighing in on this signed photo. It is on a 1950s/60s photo that I own and looks to be handwritten rather than pre-printed, as the M in Mantle is smeared. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you!

That doesn't look smeared to me. It looks slowly drawn.

Thanks. I thought that was just bleeding or smearing. I take it you think it's no good then?

I can tell you for certain that I wouldn't buy it. It is possible that he was using a faulty pen, but the blots of ink look more like hesitation to me. I also don't particularly like the formation of the auto, but if it is an earlier auto it could be legit.

I'm curious what others here think, as I'm sure you are.

I don't like it at all.
