AdamHi everyone!
I have been reading your postings for a few weeks and decided to join today! You guys know your stuff cold, wow, it's impressive.
I am a relatively new collector and would like to make sure I don't get ripped off on a Mantle autograph that is not PSA/DNA, GAI, UDA, etc. Mantle autographed items are to be one of the centers of my collection, but the No 7 UDA at over $1000 is not something I can just blink and pick up.
Can someone teach me the basics about noticing a fake? What are some of the tell-tale signs of a fake (or of a real one?). Thanks so much for your help, you will likely save this not-so-well-off collector hundreds of wasted dollars =)
