 I'm no Mantle sig expert in the least yet I will look at 5 different sigs and think they look  good and the same and then the true pros on here will point out that it's "laughably bad"  and I cringe.  I know Braves stuff pretty well and I feel I can spot a fake Williams or DiMaggio, but Mantle?  apparently his sig just flummoxes me.
 
 what are the tell tale signs? I had heard of "banana M's"  but some look similar and are called "good".
 
 His auto completely baffles me.

 Nick, if you look at enough authentic Mantle sigs over a long period of time, you will be able to differentiate the authentic ones from the forgeries.
That goes for any autograph in my opinion.
I have no doubt that if I studied Beatles autographs long enough, I would be just as proficient in opining those as I do Mantle, Jeter, etc.
You have to be willing to put in the time.
