Default Is This An Authentic Vintage Mickey Mantle Autograph?

Do you agree this is Mantle's rookie year photograph? I believe it is because his team number in the photo looks to be a 6 and not a 7. Also do you think the autograph is a true vintage autograph from him? I know you all are really really good at knowing your baseball memoribilia. It costs 150 dollars to check if it is real, honestly I don't want to spend the money if it is not real.

Looks to be a rookie pic. Mantle's auto changed quite a bit over the years. While the auto looks bad by later comparison it might be ok.

This is a reprint card of Mantle's vintage autograph. I feel the autographs are similar. Any thoughts?

The "signature" is clearly drawn--slowly, carefully, and quite poorly.

It's a fake.

Edited to add. Here's a 1952 Yankees team sheet, with a genuine Mantle:
