The M to A transition in Mantle along with the A in Mantle looked off to me. That is why I was giving it a thumbs down. Hopefully Shelly and a few others can get their opinion. Thanks for everyone's input.

I get that's why you're questioning it, but take each signature as a whole, they are a bit atypical but the flow of the signature is right as is spacing, letter size and speed, one small piece of a signature being slightly off doesn't make it bad, it takes a while but your on the right track.

I know it is on a budig ball. that does not effect my opinion. The Mickey now that I see it straight on really makes me very hesitant to say it is authentic. I will hope that Chris chimes in as well.

After taking a break and looking at it again this morning, I am pretty sure it is not authentic. The A in Mantle is just not correct. I have never seen one signed like that. I think it is a pretty good forgery. Good example to have up on the board

The A did not throw me off. It was the e that made me look at it a lot closer.
That is why this site is so much fun
