			The I after M in Mickey is a bit odd, but that could just be a skip, etc. Overall, from first look, I think it's fine. Now, Richard and the gang hopefully will reply.

			There is nothing wrong with that Mantle.  Authentic Mantle.

			Thanks so much for the feedback. Glad to know that everyone thinks it is authentic. I am still a bit shaky on deciding the authenticity of Mickey's autograph, so it is great to get a consensus opinion.   
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Now I just need to agree on a price.... Last edited by jimjim; 05-13-2012 at 12:08 PM.  |

 if it's a Bobby Brown AL (Haiti or Costa Rica), in that shape, It should be in the range of 200-275 (No authentication works fine for this ball). Good luck.  |

			Thanks for all the feedback. I got the ball last week, and I think it looks better in-person. I am very happy to add an authentic Mantle to my collection. I think getting the feedback from this board is much better than any COA!! 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
			I ended up getting a Richie Ashburn with HOF, Larry Doby with HOF, Sparky Anderson with HOF, and the Mantle for a great price from a collector who is getting rid of his stuff, as he hasn't collected in a number of years. ![]() ![]() ![]()

			Good stuff! BTW, Vinny / T&A sports is 100% legit. Good dealer.
