Packs BTW-that is a beautiful signature of the Mick. Yes, it is ashame they decided to slap that sticker on the front cover as opposed to a more discreet location like the back of the magazine. I have a few signed Sports Illustrated magazines that have the original mailing stamp on the front which are alot larger then the Spence sticker, but they don't bother me at all. Hell, maybe just for spite you could slap one of those Chiquita Bananna stickers over it. Richard is correct, probably just another way of getting free advertising.

I thought one of the easiest things to look for on a fake is the lack of the flick-up on the second M.

Some forgeries actually have no flick, and some are down right buffoonish in their attempt to slowly move from M to a. Almost like a fourth grader. |

There is a slight flick but its hard to see in my photo. You can see it better in this close up of the signature. Aside from my knowing that it's unquestionably authentic (signed at a show), another thing I look for in Mantle signatures is that the signature is on one even plane.

Chuck,
I love your math. Any chance you're related to Yogi?
