CeeGee is the man to ask I personally think they look shaky and slowly signed and don't think they are legit but again that's just my opinion I am no expert but there are some really good guys on here that can tell you.

Thanks for your opinion John.I'm hoping that second ball I posted is legit because I got the COA from  AAU.That's Drew Max in Vegas.He's supposed to be some kind of forensic expert.They got a web site up and running.These two baseballs are 1994 world series balls and Mantle died in 1995.So,maybe his signature was a little different.

none of them are real, in my opinion, and personally, I would shy away from any 1994 world series balls.

Those autographs are horrific at best.  Those two Mantle autographs are the most horrific forgeries floating around the hobby these days. 

Drew Max, FDE.  Seriously?

This Drew Max:

I was being sarcastic, John, when I wrote "This Drew Max?"  Of course, it's the same Drew Max.  Those two articles were written by me.
