Mickey Mantle Autograph Opinions requested

Just had this come into my website. What do you think about it?

Humble thanks for the help!

Fwiw I have seen a several of these, all of which were pre prints

If there was actual ink on the photo I believe the Mantle is good, but the photo has that 2nd generation look to it.

You go down in flames if you buy something framed. Wow. I am poet and don't know it. Or not.

It is a pass. More like third or fourth generation.

That is funny you said that I started to call it Next Generation, but I did not want to confuse anyone. I posted a thread a couple of years ago about why someone would purchase a framed item and I took a beating. I agree Shelly frames are for hiding things. There can be legitimate companies and items that would not follow that rule, but not for me.

It is part of a larger lot so I haven't gotten to see it yet. Till then not really anyway for me to tell if its a pre-print till I can inspect it.

Frames are for displaying. People might use them to hide things but I always have top flight items framed before offering them for sale. It adds to the eye appeal and the final sale price imho
