Appraisals that are knowledgeable will come from this board's collectors or dealers.
It is not necessary to pay money to someone just because they call themselves an appraiser.
If you do want an accurate evaluation, you should post a picture of the baseball.

good point...as I have never seen an authentic Mantle "Certified" PERIOD. Depends on what kind of ball, condition of said ball and authenticity of the Mantle and time period. Unless it's an old ball in really good shape, it's worth less than a single signed Mantle on the sweet spot. Especially with the other 2 bums on it. Jim Bumberg and Randy Gumbutt. Hope that helps? Post a pic for an actual assessment that might mean something.
