I like the "Mickey" more than the "Mantle", haha...

Usually Mantle sigs are pretty "cut and dried" for me. But I am with Chuck... leaning towards the sig being authentic, but would not even consider taking the plunge (given the price of the investment).

If I am spending that kind of dough, I want to be positive.

Edit: Try re-posting this item in the Autograph sub-section. There are 3-4 Mantle "gurus" who will give you a more definitive answer. I'd like to hear what they have to say about this head-scratcher as well.
