Mantle

I’ve seen a number of Mantle posts and I still can’t tell what’s good, particularly being one of the most forged signatures, so looking for opinions on this one (though I don’t want to bias opinions, it has a LOA from a reputable 3rd party authenticator). Thanks.

The good news is, none of the authenticators here care if a signature has an LOA. They only go by the autograph itself... and they’re extremely helpful

Thanks D R,

that’s why I posted, LOA is still an opinion & I’m sure there are several experts here that might either confirm or question the authenticity

Any thoughts about this would be much appreciated. I would believe some people on this site would be able to offer an opinion on this Mantle autograph. Thanks in advance.

There’s some unusual stuff going on with the k and the y. However, I do believe this is authentic. Everything else looks pretty good. You never know...he might have been bump or the pen slipped a little and perhaps that caused the small inconsistencies.

my first thought says its good..but it is not one that i would purchase....doubting they are giving it away...there are nicer ones out there that can be found at a fair price....he had such a pretty autograph, nor was his autograph cheap. Just my opinion, but for me, the moment i brought this one home, i would be unsatisfied and be seeking a more attractive one....If i was only going to have one mantle autograph, this would not be the one...

again...my opinion...

thanks

Thanks Tim, I appreciate your opinion. I looked at a number of them and based on James’ comment, focused on the K and they appear to be “connected” vs fragmented. I’m guessing you feel it’s legit but not the one Mantle graph you would choose. I was just planning on one myself. Thanks again, the comment was helpful.
