Mantle, Williams & others 1st day cover - are these authentic?

Hi everyone,

I was hoping to get opinions on the signatures on this 500 home run first day cover. Signers are allegedly Mantle, Ted Williams, Willie Mays, Eddie Matthews, Harmon Killebrew and Willie McCovey. I really appreciate your opinions!

Thanks in advance,

Allen

The Heston looks secretarial, and I don't like the Killebrew or the Willie Mays...just my opinion. Hopefully others can chime in.

Laughable at best.

the pic looks like a postage stamp, but the killebrew is definitely fake.

For those learning, here is a side by side analysis of similar items. One is the not genuine one posted and one is an authentic version of the same/similar item. Compare it to this authentic piece (I don't own, but 100% authentic):
