Hey guys, new here, so thanks for checking this out...Babe Ruth, early sigs are tough (from what I have heard), cause he was becoming the persona, and greatly varied his signature until the mid 20's.…Continue

"I don't like the Mantle. The signature looks drawn without a steady flow. And the signer seemingly has stopped after writing the "M" before continuing with the "i" instead of writing the letters in one fluent motion ..."

Just for the record, you guys have taught me well enough to stay away from these... LOLHowever, a friend of mine made a deal on this, and when he told me I cringed before even seeing the ball. I told him before he paid to let me submit to you. I don't think that it is good, but I don't trust my judgement enough when other people's money is involved. Can you please help?See More
"Thank you, I passed"
"It does not look right."
"Right... A lot of characteristics of his signature are there, and what would be gained from faking a $50 ball? But the lack of foundation as far as having another example makes it tough to trust"
"Never seen one like this either. "
"Sorry, just realized this should be in general...Just always have spoken to you gents in here about autos, my apologies"
"Hey Bobby, Nice job avoiding the obvious fake Mantle!
It's a Zero on the Fudd o meter, LOL. haven't collected Autographs for 4-5 years now. Was going through my 20 Mantle balls (and others) just yesterday to inventory to see what I…"
"I think this is a recent signature, likely good but not certain"

Hey Bobby, Nice job avoiding the obvious fake Mantle!
It's a Zero on the Fudd o meter, LOL. haven't collected Autographs for 4-5 years now. Was going through my 20 Mantle balls (and others) just yesterday to inventory to see what I actually had. Looked some up on E-bay at recently solds and there are still some nice deals at auction without certs. Keep looking at them and one day it will just pop in your head in 1 sec, real/ fake. I just didn't want to put the effort in for others I was collecting, so I stuck to mantle, LOL.
I moved on to trimmed and soaked PSA cards instead. , LOL. Take care and happy hunting. Fudd (Chuck Tapia)
