Mantle Ball in Mears Auction (can't be real right???)

[Bpm0014]

I know nothing about Mantle's autograph, but this ball is currently up for auction in the current Mears Online Auction. No chance this is real correct? It has a JSA letter....

I'm trying to learn his autograph and I say no way, but I'd love to hear the experts chime in....

It’s not real and there’s no way it would pass regular JSA authentication - the auction house letters are a whole different beast.

I saw that lot over the weekend and thought the same exact thing that it couldn’t be real

Aren't auction houses like Mears supposed to be trustworthy? How would this slip by if in fact it is fake. Not accusing Mears of anything at all, I'm a bit of a newbie and thought if you bought through an auction house it would be legit.

terrible typical banana Mantle up to $327.00 .

You just can't save people from themselves as that signature bares no resemblance to Mickey Mantle whatsoever.
