Looks like something my 10 year old daughter could do.

LOL.....that is bad, I can't believe anyone would put that out there and expect to sell it.  Personally, for me I won't buy any Mantle item unless it is PSA/DNA or JSA authenicated.  However, I do have to say that I was putting together a signed set of 1983 HOF Heroes that has two Mantle cards and I bought one not authenicated about 10 years ago for $5.00.  It was a nice looking signature so I figured for $5 I'll gamble.  The Gamble paid off I got it authenicated and slabbed by PSA/DNA a couple of years ago and it was good as gold.

Laughably bad. You'd think even the lowest bottom-feeding forger would be ashamed of this effort.

Here's another Mantle forgery.  A signed bat from Ebay seller "lsmith526."  COA from "Forensic Document Services."  They are on Ebay's "Banned VOA" list.  Horrible forgery.
