Mantle auto

Hello there.. I didn't get a coa but my colleague said his dad acquired this auto in person.
I figured if anybody could give an educated guess on mine then it'd be you guys
I truly appreciate your time and expertise.
Kindest regards,
Gary Haase

Gary, Mantle single signed baseballs are not rare in any way, shape or form. I dont know where you got that 90% number from but if you go on ebay now, and search for Mantle singed baseballs, you will see probably three hundred or more authentic signed baseballs.

you have one of them.

What I meant by 90% was because that many were fake and its the most faked auto out there. A guy has a YouTube showing bunches of eBay fakes...exposing them.

That's awesome, I've watched so many of those educating myself on Mantle forgeries. I always thought the use of "horrific" sounded like Chris on here! Chris you are the man, thank you for all that you do!

I listed the seven balls on ebay not caring if they sell but just to see if any experts were out there to look at all signatures and I offered to pull them if anyone could tell fakes. If any are fakes I will scratch them out and give them to my neighborhood boys club for use:)

I hope this isn't against your rules but here's the link(let me know if any of you experts can tell which are real or not:
