Slowly drawn and malformed is an understatement.

That is certainly one ugly Mickey Mantle forgery.

I hope the buyer submits it to PSA or JSA. They will deem that Mantle a forgery in a millisecond.

What a piece-of-crap.

Who is Blue Chip Sports and why should we trust them?

Does their COA erase the fact that this is a slowly drawn, and deformed fake?

Sorry, Denise, that "Mantle" signature I posted here is an obvious forgery and a poorly executed forgery.

It probably took the forger at least an hour to pen that Mantle forgery.

Now now... Blue Chip says it's authentic.

That's good enough for Denise, it should be good enough for us. LOL

Although this is an obvious forgery from any view, here's a close-up of that Mickey Mantle forgery sold by Ebay seller Chasingflowers.

Also it should be noted this is on a Budig ball. As most collectors know, Mantle had a very narrow window to sign these balls prior to his death. The vast majority of Mantle signatures on Budig balls are not authentic.
