Does not look good to me either. I would keep away from this one.

Thanks I didn't have much hope for it but I really can't tell a good Mantle from a bad one, even side by side. Not sure what the trick is.

Piece of garbage. Not even close. That's one of the Mantle-type forgeries that were sold by the Home Shopping shows during the "Operation Bullpen" era.

Randall, I agree. I can't tell the difference. Wish someone would point out what to look for.

100% Mickey. I won't go into detail but there are major differences in the two autographs which stick out like a sore thumb.

Default Mike Baker/GAI Mantle
Below is your typical Mickey Mantle forgery "authenticated" by the now defunct GAI with the cert signed by Mike Baker.

I tend to agree with christopher on the second one being the real deal. If it is a forgery, it's a good one.
