Wow can't believe they did that to a nice ball like that. Cut autographs I can understand, but a ball? Wow!

Sorry, but I believe it.
I believe the card companies are capable of doing anything with autographs to make a buck.
Just look at what they did to this nice Mantle signature on a postmarked government postcard.

The irony is that these butchered signature cards often sell for more than the autograph in its original form. Unless that stops happening, we will continue to see this nonsense.

I, too, have often wondered why anyone would be interested in a 'cut auto" that is literally "cut" off.

Is that Mantle real? What makes me wonder is the postmark, which shows what appears to be 3 zeros in a row. Even with part hiden, the middle one is for sure, as it's more than half there. The only dates that work at all are in the 2000's. It could be a "mailed from zip code" postmark, maybe 10002? But it looks like a handstamp, which would be unusual for a postcard.

Yankee Stadium is in 10451 and Mantles restauraunt is in 10019,so something mailed from 10002 seems odd. 10002 is bounded by bowery, St catherines, and E houston st.
