Mantle "Clubhouse" autographed ball question

Well you said its a team ball. So it's still signed by all the other members of the team or at least most of them. A team ball will still have value without mantle.

Also too-- a clubhouse sig and a fake sig are completely different, to me anyways

How so? Neither were signed by Mantle. Unless you look at it and determine that PSA made a mistake, which is entirely possible.

I didn't say it was a team ball.

My fault, I thought it said team ball.

Never heard of a single signed clubhouse ball. Do you have a picture?

Oh, I thought it was a team signed ball as well. Then yeah, it's probably not a clubhouse sig? Just flat out forged?
