Mantle Autograph and Picture

Hi, folks. When I was a kid, a family friend got Mickey’s autograph on the back of a business card. I have no reason to suspect a fake but I just thought I would post and see what you thought. It is possible the friend wrote in the “To Billy” part.

I also took the attached photo myself at Old Timers Day in 1971. If I can get the signature validated I was thinking of having it cut and mounted with the picture under the plastic like the cards with the DNA. What do you think?

All best,

Bill

It looks good. Even the "Billy" part

Authentic as the day is long. Very nice.That certainly is an early 70s Mantle autograph. I love the loops in the Ms which you didn't see too often after that. The half moon M style became front and center.

He signed this for me back in '93 Notice the difference? Mine was a little rushed too.
