|  Is This An Authentic Vintage Mickey Mantle Autograph? 
			
			Do you agree this is Mantle's rookie year photograph? I believe it is because his team number in the photo looks to be a 6 and not a 7. Also do you think the autograph is a true vintage autograph from him? I know you all are really really good at knowing your baseball memoribilia. It costs 150 dollars to check if it is real, honestly I don't want to spend the money if it is not real.

			Looks to be a rookie pic. Mantle's auto changed quite a bit over the years. While the auto looks bad by later comparison it might be ok. Disclaimer: I am NOT an autograph expert. |

			This is a reprint card of Mantle's vintage autograph. I feel the autographs are similar. Any thoughts?

			The "signature" is clearly drawn--slowly, carefully, and quite poorly. It's a fake. Edited to add. Here's a 1952 Yankees team sheet, with a genuine Mantle:   Last edited by David Atkatz; 05-10-2009 at 07:42 PM. Reason: add photo |
