"Mr. Cyrkin did a nice job magnifying that image. I would also say it's authentic. 98% of the time I can opine a Mantle autograph in seconds.  This is why authentication companies employ certain tools.  "

"that was my first impression also, it was probably good but I kept looking at it and seeing things that were concerning to me.  when I double clicked, I did see the signing surface which explains the shakiness.  its probably good"

"Jeff uploaded a large, sharp photo so you can zoom in close. It's signed on textured, uncoated paper, which caused the shaky look to me."

"When blown up fully huge what is going on where the bottom of the second downstroke changes direction to head of for the "i"? Should a pen lift be there?"

"honestly, I am not sure about this one.  it looks a little shaky to me, and it looks off overall"
