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

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.

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.

As I knew they would, the Mantle, DiMaggio and the multi signed ball (Mantle, Williams and others) came back all good. I will post scans tonight.

The Babe Ruth seen in this thread was in a local card auction. I won it for $50.00 back in 1981. I should have sold it to the guy who offered me $200.00 after the auction. oh well....live and learn. So I am only out the $50.00.

Thanks,
Bob

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.
