The autograph looks legitimate enough, but they all look the same? They have probably been photo copied. It also might be 4 x 6???, but maybe not. The last thing I hate about that pose in that plaque is that those pins that hold the photo, go right through the photo, I think. Normally those pins just hold the photo, not go right through the photo like that. Please let us know what comes in the mail?

The prices for legit Mantle are Plummeting like E-bay stock. This normally $200+ photo was purchased for 103.00 a couple weeks ago. Even a quitter like me couldn't pass bidding on it and I got stuck with a 5 1/2" Cadillac Signature......So sad. Thanks E-bay for letting scam artists and dick wads list forgery after forgery....

Fudd is probably correct.

Mr. Zipper and I were discussing this last night and it looks like a mass quantity of copies were produced. 

That's why I have never, and will never, purchase a autograph on a photo.  Too risky these days.

I got burned a few months ago on a Sade signed photo, that was framed.  had to go thru buyer protection. the seller gets to keep his money, I got my money back and everyone's happy. what a joke.

Definitely not autopen, if anything a reprint. Do the light trick Tony and see if you get any metallic glare. It's pretty easy to tell if a signature is printed or signed on to the photo... Let us know.

Well if it is a copy Good thing there is Buyer protection on it and I sent the seller a  message upon looking at previous sales this was not a dealer of signed items..Anyway We've all be there before. I will send it back and if i am just out of the dough I will put it out of its misery and make a nice post Ala Travis Christenberry and at least i picked up this Beauty

Could be like the classic Mattingly/Mantle photo that everyone lists as "Autographed" but infact it is a RP.
