It's obviously not a 1951 style signature. But I believe the "1951" is meant to indicate the year the photo was taken, not when it was signed.

I am definitely not an autograph expert! I just know that Mantle's signature evolved over the years and this was an example of his later style.

You would get a lot more reasoned (and some kneejerk) responses if you post this in the autograph sub-forum. Not all of those guys venture upstream to the main memorabilia forum here.

To whom it may concern...Thanks for moving this to the correct forum & thanks to those who mentioned that it was in the wrong place.
Sorry for the mistake; I don't know why I didn't realize it.

And thanks again for the comments.
