Yes, I saw that on second look and edited my post accordingly.
It still has other issues IMO.

I can't remember ever signing my name with a pencil, so not sure what can be forgiven on such autographs. I know a lot of forum members love them.

Interesting, thanks for the information. I'm a bit new to older Mantle autographs. Would it be best to take Mantle out of the book? The rest of the book doesn't have any huge names... It has Dick Van Patten, Jimmy Carter, a whole bunch of 50's midget wrestlers, and Goose a Harlem Globetrotter. There's 21 autographs, but they are definitely before my time, and I believe most are not valuable but I don't know for sure.

I would wait for the Mantle experts to add their opinions to this thread. I don't get autographs validated, and I never buy pencil cuts, but if this one dropped in my lap and the experts said "good", I think I would send that first page to SGC. If they liked it, ask them to remove the cut and slab it. Maybe that's a bad idea, but that's my thinking.
I do have a bunch of 'sort of valuable' cuts at the moment, and I've wrestled with sending some of them to SGC. But that would make me a hypocrite . Personally, I see no value in owning a cut that comes with a piece of paper authenticating it;however, a uniform-size slab would make it presentable.

Thank you very much Runscott! I'll wait a bit for some other thoughts and then talk with SGC. Much appreciated

Steve is an autograph expert - I'm just a Mantle collector. If he thinks it is bad, it probably is, but there are other autograph experts on this board who specialize in Mantle.

Jimmy Carter is probably the easiest US President to get. If the "Goose" Globetrotter is Goose Tatum he's hardly a nobody. There are some wrestling fanatics out there that might be interested in the midget wrestlers.
Autograph books generally are worth a lot more for individual pages. PM me if you decide to break up the book, I'd be interested in the Goose. And you might want to post more scans, I'm sure folks here can help you identify the rest. Quote:

Did no one notice how the description of the Mantle cut seems to be in the same handwriting as the Mantle cut.

It's not the same handwriting at all.
