Just as fake as a banana Mantle, but if we want to get technical, it is a different forger.  |
B&J Collectibles,, the same company that Steve Rocchi (when he was with PSA) made a deal with to "authenticate" as witnessed in person Joe DiMaggio signatures when they were not witnessed by PSA and were totally bogus.
The owner of B&J Collectibles used to walk around at card shows in NY trying to sell those old records of Mantle and other players (the entire record pictured the player, I don't know the name of the issue). When he did this he looked like a poor lost soul begging dealers to give him a few dollars for this warehouse find of virtually unmovable records. All of a sudden he became a big shot in the autograph business. An overnight loser.
