Help with a couple of Mantle autographs please

[yanksfan1976]

I would like to pick the brains of the autograph experts on these boards. First time poster ,but long time lurker. These autos are on a couple 1952 Bowman Lithographs by Gerry Dvorak and just wondering about the authenticity of them.
Litho 1


Litho 2


Thank you for your help in advance.

I like both of them, but please wait for more experienced Mantle guys. I am still trying to learn.

. Does it come with the Divorak cert? Did he sign it as well? Is it numbered?

Both look good to me? Are the lithos the same?

They came with no Dvorak certs.
They are signed by Dvorak and numbered to 450 I believe.

The lithos are the same... just numbered different.

The fact that Shelly likes them gets you where you were wanting to go.

Looks good, but interests me as to either why a thicker pen pressure or different pen used at a different signing...

[shelly]

There where over five hundred signed. New pen new drink It was in his drinking days. I am never sure about that litho. That is why I asked about the number and his signing his name not just the name written in stone. I would say outside of Angelo Marino's litho this is probably the one of the most forged.

Here is one of about 700 B&J Marino forged pieces .http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/4001353
