1994 Upper Deck Mickey Mantle - Is this Mantle Autograph Authentic?

Considering buying this on eBay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MICKEY-MANTLE-AUTO-1994-UPPER-DECK-AUTOGRAP...

Not a Mantle auto expert, so would like your opinions about the Mantle auto below is legit. Looks too perfect to me, but I'm a novice when it comes to Mantle's autograph. Also, does anyone know about the history of this card? How many were produced, etc.

Absolutely authentic.

I'm curious what you mean when you write "It looks too perfect to me."

That particular card was also signed dually by both Mantle & Griffey.

The Mantle/Griffey signed ones typically sell for over $1,000.00.

That is a gorgeous autograph.

Yes, as terrier8HOF said, it's missing the banana M's. But as I said, I'm no expert when it comes to Mantle autos, and would like as many people's opinions as possible.

You don't need any further comments.  It is authentic.

You're welcome.

What makes you so sure?  I'm curious.

Why?

Do you believe it's not authentic?

Dude.  Just asking a simple question because I want to learn more about Mantle's auto and how to detect forgeries.  You seem like an expert when it comes to Mantle's autos.

Take the time to study them.  That's how it's done.

Hahaha. By the way, I forgot to thank you for wasting my time.

So, thank you, buddy.

I gave you an honest answer.  That is how it's done.  Period.
