Hi, Folks,
Any opinions on the authenticity of this signed golf ball?
Thanks,
Pete

One more photo of the inscription below the signature.
Not really sure...I have seen Mantle golf balls before but I would imagine that has got to be an extremely hard surface to sign for anyone...There is something about it that looks off to me...not saying for sure that its bad...but I don't see many positive characteristics in the auto to say for certain that its good either in my opinion...even in the inscription...
Were did you get it ?
I bought it from a golf collector who stated that it was signed at a charity golf event.
At the time I bought it, I had PSA/DNA give me one of their likely/not likely authentic assessments on eBay and it came back as "likely authentic". So I have been planning to send it in for an official authentication.
That may be your best bet Pete...Let me know how you make out...like I said before signing something that small that's not smooth may be the reason why it looks off...I am sure the pros can give you a better answer...
I appreciate your help, CG. I have been studying the Mantle authentication information you and other helpful board members have been posting, but I am still quite in the dark on authenticating Mantle autos. I’ll send the ball to PSA/DNA, as, I think, if they certify it as authentic, it would be a relatively rare Mantle signed item.
Cool bro...I have seen them before...not many though...also Berra...Larsen...and Ford...there rare indeed...
I would be stunned if this was authentic.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I am going to stay optimistic until I get confirmation either way from the experts.
Thanks for the help, Cee Gee and Zipper. Some day I hope to be able to say I have an authentic Mantle auto in my collection. If not this one, I'll get one that is already certified by a reliable source.
No problem and I apologize if I came off as rude. I didn't mean it that way. In my experience, signed golf balls -- especially from non golf celebs -- are rarely authentic. So it would surprise me if that was not the case here.
On this one in particular, I do not like the way the "loops" are almost entirely to the left of the Ms rather than being partially underneath as well.
