Last name looks too straight across for my liking. Could just be the angle, and I will defer to others who feel it is good.

Thanks for the input so far.... looks like currently it’s a 50/50 split on who thinks it’s good vs fake. I thought it looked good compared to google images as well.

Much better than 50/50. Very reputable people saying it's good.

While the scan is too low-res to be 100% definitive, this appears to be a facsimile of an authentic example. Also indicative of this is the "Best Wishes" without personalization, commonly found on promotional items. It was exceedingly rare for MM to sign a photo in this manner. You'll encounter the odd side-paneled ball, but photos from this era of signature style are practically nonexistent.

Thanks all for the knowledgeable input and opinions. I appreciate it and will post more pictures if I can come to a deal with the seller.

Agree. Authentic, but it may be a preprint.

I would go with Chuck's opinion. He is very knowledgeable on Mantle, as are Chris, Shelley and Steve Z.

I got this in the mail yesterday. It is a neat piece because it is dated the same year Mantle was inducted into the HOF. It also tells when and where he was and the seller also linked me to this article that mentions his appearance. I need to get a magnifier on this to see if it is live ink. It looks like it because I can see the heavy and light strokes of the auto.... just want to be sure. Does anyone know any info or have this piece not signed? Thanks

Yes nice job and thank you! On a positive note seller agreed to refund most of payment. Don’t hear that happen too often anymore. Thanks for all the insight everyone.
