Scott, nice metaphor.....

Definitely trying to learn. Takes a while for the casual collector to learnt the "banana", the "Marino", etc, and this one had a lot of good features, but Zarelli makes a good point. I tried to rationalize it to "sobriety at time of signature", but I would have expected a trend to go along, since, needless to say, Mantle spent a fair amount of time in "less than sober" conditions.

The dialogue is appreciated.

My earlier question on the TPA was not with the intent of sending it there (costs almost as much to grade a Mantle as it costs to buy a Mantle) but rather to assess if this was a "tweener" (most opinions seem to be "it could be real, but I would not touch it" vs "outright fake"...) and how would a TPA opine on this one.

Once again, thanks to those who took the time to share thoughts
