Old Mickey Mantle Autograph and others help ;)
Hey guys. I recently purchased an autograph book at an estate auction, and I'm trying to learn more about Mickey Mantle's autograph. This book does not have any authentication, but was guaranteed by the auctioneer at least. It was a kid's book from the 50's and each autograph was dated with the year he got it and where. The Mantle autograph appears to be his older signature, so I'm curious as to the best way of going about selling it, or the value of an old signature as opposed to the later in life signatures. Thanks for any help!

This is a 1953 for comparison....

I don't think the autograph book surrounding it is helping - realizing that its history could be that someone from Nova Scotia was visiting Boston and only had a piece of paper and pencil when they happened to get the opportunity to have Mantle sign, so when they got home they cut it out, bought the book and glued it it. Still, not the best.
I don't like pencil cuts like this, especially when decent 1953-ish Mantles can be found, but since you are asking about enhancing a sale, I would send it to SGC, as they will put it in a holder and it will look more attractive. Or they will reject it.

The K looks like a re-drawn train wreck. Appears slowly executed and wobbly.

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