Mantle / DiMaggio / Williams?? Opinions please!
My father in law gave me a very generous gift for Xmas. It's a great display piece, but I'm not sure about the authenticity. He purchased all the autos from a local card shop (one of the few still in business). He then took them to the local framer and had this nice collage put together. After a few cocktails, he mentioned that he had about $1K into this piece. All the autos came with COA's, but all the COA's were issued by the card shop (convenient). And the photo has a strange golden coloring to it.
My father in law raves about this shop, but is very naïve about the industry. I would hate to see him continue to spend his hard earned money there if they're taking advantage of him. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, the signatures on the photos are not authentic.
Sorry.

Thanks guys. The photo seems like a cheap copy (maybe that's why it's turning colors)...and it seemed suspicious that if someone was going to have these three sign a photo, they would use such a cheap version. On that particular COA, it stated that the photo was obtained from the home shopping network.
How about the FDC's...any chance those are good?

Fortunately, it's not a total loss. Just swap out the photo for a quality print of the unsigned version and you still have a nice display with 3 good signatures.
