Fake or Real Mantle auto?
Can anyone help with the authenticity of this Mantle piece? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks (If this is the wrong section I apologize)

I don’t know anything but the l higher than the t is unusual. Also there is a stop at the y, he usually does a more confident follow through. That said I know nothing.

You will get responses if you repost this in the Autograph Forum which is a sub-forum of the Vintage Memorabilia Forum. I cannot offer an opinion as I do not know. Offering a somewhat opinion is useless.

Looks like a good Mantle Sig

Maybe it's the angle it's at, but I don't like it.

This is good

That "Best Wishes" looks feminine...would the Mick write that like that?

Yes, If you google "Best Wishes Mickey Mantle" under images, there's lots of examples that match up. This is a good earlier example imo.

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.

looks perfecto to me...

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.

I think it's good, too.
Great piece! |

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

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 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

Here's another copy of the same premium, signature pre-printed on the image:

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.

MOST of the payment? If he sold it as an autographed flyer, why it not be all of the payment?

This may be due to ignorance on my part but I expressed I was still interested in the piece as I am a Mantle fan. I should also mention this was on Facebook marketplace and the seller was very responsive and apologetic for the situation. I linked him to this thread and explained the information that was found. We came to an agreed upon price and the seller is also sending me an additional item. I could have returned the item for full refund but did not.

No. Looks to be a pre printed ad.

Thanks I did do that... But the piece is actually "Watt Powell" and the site that shows the premium has "Matt Powell" by mistake. But I appreciate the info and will do more research next time.

That's interesting. I thought it said 'Matt', so I found it very quickly.
