Mantle & DiMaggio

[yanks12025]

Any chance either one of these are good. Thanks you for any help

[markf31]

No on the Mantle. I don't know enough about DiMaggio sigs to make a determination on that one.

[isaac2004]

I would say no on the Mantle

The Dimaggio looks like alot of what I see on ebay with JSA/PSA, but I am not an expert (I have one from the early 80s that my looks nothing like this however and enough people have looked at mine for me to believe its authentic)

[yanks12025]

Thanks for the thoughts guys,

Mantle no Joe d yes

[yanks12025]

Thanks shelly, they are being sold as a lot so I think I'll pass on the bidding.
Anyone know if these look good or clubhouse.

I'm going to go against the grain here and state that I think the Mantle is okay as is the Joe D.

It appears he got a bit of a rough start on the first M, but after that the signature looks fine to me. Some times there are "hiccups" and not every letter in every signature is textbook perfect.

I hate to disagree with my good friend Shelly, but I believe that Mantle is authentic.

[shelly]

What I would like is better picture showing the mickey and then the mantle.I will stand by what I said until he can show a better picture. I am willing to admit I am wrong but not without a better shot. The angle is what made me feel it is not real.That is why a quick opinion is exactly that a quick opinion.

[thetruthisoutthere]

Can you post a link to where it's being sold?

Chris,
The auction listing doesn't show the photos. I had to email them for the photos, but these were the best that they gave. I just looked and noticed that I accidentally deleted the rest from my email. Sorry guys

Not a big deal. Just curious. Both are authentic (Sorry, Shelly)...

[kengoldin]

They both look good on a PC, whats more I would bet they were purchased at one point from QVC under the original SB contract, due to the style of the holder from what i can see. Looks like what QVC required to be special ordered for them (they had their own holder)

I will surrender to my man Chris. I just did not like the e to the y looked to straight and the first m look like either it was slow or the pen was missing ink.

[novakjr]

I'm right there with ya on Mantle, shelly. The Y threw me for a big loop.. But there were some things that I did like about the signature as well.

[Fuddjcal]

I also think the Mantle may be good, rather than a very good forgery, but l didn't really want to say yes or no with out seeing a better pic. That's why I didn't comment sooner. I'd like a better shot of the "Mic" and the "tle". but everything else looks good to me.

The Dimaggio has attributes I like as well

When I have a question about a particular autograph, Shelly is my go-to guy.
