Help on Mantle/Maris
Thoughts on these 2 cuts (Index Cards) I have all but given up on trying to read a good Mantle. Have not studied Maris in depth

Don't know Maris as well as Mantle, but I think the Mantle is bad. Pressure and flow is off. Looks labored.
Haven't we seen this Mantle before? It looks familiar.

Maybe it was the surface it was signed on, but I wouldn't want it. There are "slow" spots, etc. MantleNet54.jpg Last edited by thetruthisoutthere; 05-02-2015 at 03:21 PM. |

I have to agree there is something about the Mantle that just does not look right. It seems there are to many stops and it was for sure written slowly.
Zip and Chris nailed this. |

Paper for Mantle looks like it has creasing, maybe that's why. I'd have no problem buying it though.

On any high value autograph I think net54 members say fake 99% of time

Jhs5120, 'disproportionate' has no real meaning here. I would much rather see someone saying "bad" 'too much', as opposed to "good". "Bad" often only means "I would not buy it".

Also, in my view, people tend to post things for opinions in many cases because they have some doubt to begin with. Typically one would not ask for an opinion on a slam dunk good item purchased from a rock solid dealer.
So yes, it is possible items posted for opinions may weight heavily in the "bad" category.

It's very different here - rare any more when the conversation is about an autograph from a trusted source. We used to argue about questionable high=end autographs from big auction houses, but now the crabgrass has taken over the lawn. It's hard to take some of these threads very seriously, although I think the posters really are trying to learn most of the time.

Crabgrass over the lawn
Scott, nice metaphor.....
Definitely trying to learn. Takes a while for the casual collector to learnt the "banana", the "Marino", etc, and this one had a lot of good features, but Zarelli makes a good point. I tried to rationalize it to "sobriety at time of signature", but I would have expected a trend to go along, since, needless to say, Mantle spent a fair amount of time in "less than sober" conditions. The dialogue is appreciated. My earlier question on the TPA was not with the intent of sending it there (costs almost as much to grade a Mantle as it costs to buy a Mantle) but rather to assess if this was a "tweener" (most opinions seem to be "it could be real, but I would not touch it" vs "outright fake"...) and how would a TPA opine on this one. Once again, thanks to those who took the time to share thoughts B
