Edited to correct incorrect opinion - #3 is apparently good. I didn't like it, but have been tutored.

Hmmmm.
I still don't care for that second "M" on the ball, but if Shelly gives it the thumbs up, I wouldn't argue.

It's definitely authentic, Mark.

Look at the entire autograph. There will always be variations of "The Mick's" autograph.

Actually Lordstan, the 2nd "M" is a Perfect example, IMHO. From the ink dropped at the beginning, to the perfect flick up to the "a"....it is Text book.

I thought you might not like the "c" because it's a little straight up compared to many authentic signatures. This is the style that the Florida Forgers like to use and they just butcher it. NO ONE, But No one can get that "c" like that except the Mick. This style "c" appears in about 5-10% of all authentic Mantles.

Chuck, what got you all wound up? He made a mistake it was not the end of the world.
