Wow, I am not a fan at all. Any others not like it?

Unfortunately, save the $300 fee. No chance that is authentic. Let others chime in.

Cut + Pencil almost always =forged

OUCH! I guess I will put the $300.00 towards some T206's........Oh by the way, did I say......OUCH!

Thanks for everyone's input, just wish it was better input.

If you want a professional "Quick Opinion" from an authentication company just to be sure we know what we are talking about, you can get one from PSA/DNA or Beckett for $10.

I know it is disheartening to find out something is not authentic.

I bought MANY bad Mantles, Dimaggios, and Williams in the late 1990's on Ebay with worthless LOAs.

I had to write off thousands of dollars because it was a few years before I actually studied autographs enough to know real from fake on those autos.

At least it did not cost you $300 to get bad news.

100% bad. Don’t even waste your money. Sorry.

Good Points here. I think we all learned that way. I have looked at 100,000+ Mantle's and can tell at a blink, real or Fake 99.8% of the time. It goes down slightly for Dimaggio and then Williams. Then, I just stopped because I got bored doing the work and was sick of seeing all the scammies going unchecked.

Having 100 + Mantle balls and photos, I only have so much storage and display space. plus, I'm a Dodger fan.

I'd rather have Cold Cuts than a "cut" autograph. They are a 99% Fake known quantity.

At least you saved the OP 3 zambeanies! He got the "other cuts" In person, so maybe he'll hit 50% on those. The balls are easily identifiable and don't need $100 authentication letters either, IMHO.

Please if you dont mind telling us where you obtained it so others can learn from others mistakes. Also I hope you are not out alot of money. I got duped in the 90's for a Ruth to the tune of 550 bucks.Learned my lessons really quick.

If you do not feel like sharing its perfectly fine.

As others have said, that is a blatant forgery. If you submitted a bunch of other stuff to them in person you might be able to just show them in person for free for them to agree so you feel more comfortable with what we are saying. Bottom line though, no chance on that one.

[shelly]

If I where you. I would show us the other Ruth, Williams, Mantle and what ever you where going to have authenticated. We might save you a great deal of money

Hi Shelly.
All of my Mantle, DiMaggio and Williams autographs I received in person and have they never left my possession so I know they are fine.
Maybe I will scan them just to show.......
Thanks,
Bob
