Mantle ball on Ebay
 

Just cruising thru ebay and saw this ball with psa/dna full letter. Any opinions on the signature? Just looks "sloppy" to all the Mantles I have seen. I'm not questioning authenticity of ball just wondering if anyone else would be picky as well over buying a "sloppy auto" . Bidding up to 610 with 5 days left so im guessing it doesnt matter to some collectors.

:):):):) way over priced

was hoping you would respond shelly! my thoughts were that if im going to spend that type of money I want a better looking signature. if Im gonna drop close to a grand I think I want the "micks" best effort....haha Just my opinion

I bought a great Mantle ball, from a member on the B/S/T for $250....just saying...

Mickey Mantle signed baseballs with a high grade from PSA go for nice dollars.

I will disagree. I see much nicer signatures go for much less. It is my night to disagree with you.

Shelly, I simply wrote "they go for big dollars."

Prices will always vary based on timing...:)

So, the experts on here do agree that the signature is authentic? I'll have to agree with the OP though in that the signature is a sloppy example (ugly to me), if it is authentic. It looks like it was drawn out really slow. I guess I'll be confused for a while on how to really tell an authentic Mantle as my initial guess would have been that it wasn't. :confused:

I will throw my opinion out there . I would not buy it. As stated before there are much nicer examples available for less money. I would wait, it is not like they are impossible to find.
