Another "Please help with this Mantle signature" thread

[YankeeFan]

I hope the experts here are not too tired of these. I would appreciate your opinions.

I usually stay away from autographs because I just don't know enough, and like many of us, I have been burned before.
But I just picked up a Mickey Mantle signed photo. I bought it because I liked the photo and had never seen this image before,
and I liked the price regardless of whether the signature was authentic.

But, of course, I am curious about what the experts here think.




Here's an image of the framed (home-made frame) 16 x 20 photo on which this signature appears.
Obviously 1951 because of the shoulder patch, but I'm not sure of the stadium. I was told that it was spring training, which for
the Yankees in 1951 was in Phoenix, AZ.

When did Mantle start signing this style of signature?

Photo is clear for me haha.

I can't comment on any Mantle writing as I'm not familiar with it.
