Default Clemente & Mantle

At the Starlight Theatre. The seller says he got these autographs as an 11/12 year old in 1959/60. What do you all think?

He is a man of his word. Couple of beauties. Circa early 60s.

His timeline is also correct, as I would have pegged the Mantle at 1960 if he hadn't provided you with any info as to date. Mantle's autograph went through big transitions during this time, making it easier to pinpoint a year based on style alone.

What is really interesting, though, is that Clemente gave such a beautiful signature even in this in person situation. While his signature hadn't yet devolved into the latter-day stacked scrawl it became, it's still a much nicer example than he could have chosen to sign circa 1960.

I'm curious how many other signatures are on there, as they signed so close together. I see Bill Monbouquette going through Mantle, so maybe the whole cover is full of autographs. What an event that must have been! To me, it makes it even more special, and almost surreal, to see two larger-than-life legends, Mantle and Clemente, sign that close to each other.
