Default Your opinion on the autographs
These are on display near my house and was wondering your opinion on these. I think the first three look good, but I have been reading that a lot of Ruth books are ghost signed-first 2 on are on the same photo.

Thank you for your time.

Not sure about the first Mantle photo but I don't like the second one (B&W) at all. The hat and ball both look good to me. I'm not a huge fan of the Maris either which makes me doubt the first Mantle too.

I just took a quick look at the first three and the Mantle-Maris is horrid, a terrible forgery.
The Ruth looks authentic.

The three Mantles are Marino as well as the Williams.

IMHO...

Like:
The second Koufax.

Not sure:
Ruth (It's probably good, but I am not expert enough to give an opinion)
Williams (not expert enough)
First Koufax (sig is too runny to be comfortable with it)

BAD:
Maris (horrible)
All Mantles are bad! The pictures are terrible. The ball and hat are close, but still bad.

I don't fell that the Koufax hat is authentic. Loop through the bottom of the s is not the way he signed his name.

Which three Mantles? (There are four.)
It's obvious that the first Mantle (lighter blue, on the Mantle/Maris photo) was done by a different hand than the other three.

Autographs are about learning sometime new every day.

From what I can see, the Mantle with the Maris is bad; the Mantle on the cap is bad; the Mantle on the photo is bad and the Mantle on the ball looks bad (although I'd like to see a better photo).

Shelly, aren't the Mantle forgeries on the cap and ball Marino penned?
