Mantle signed book

[cnote08]

I was checking out an auction and ran across this signed book. What would be the general opinion of the group? Is this one authentic?

[Mr. Zipper]

Absolutely not, in my opinion.

[cnote08]

Thank you sir. That was my feeling as well.

[Mr. Zipper]

Very slow and bleedy looking. I suspect it was traced.

Heritage has said it’s Precertified which would mean either JSA or PSA/DNA has deemed it authentic.

I'm pretty sure precertified just means that theytook a quick glance at it. Some terrible mistakes have been made that way

It's not clear who precertified it. I thought Heritage used in-house experts these days. I'd be surprised if PSA, JSA or Beckett signed off on this.

I agree.

No way Beckett, JSA or PSA signed off on that crap.

That particular signature is from the book, My Favorite Forgery...
