Hey guys, I had a customer come into the store today with a family member's Mantle bat. I gave her a preliminary opinion, but also told her that some of the best of the best were here on this site.

I told her that I would get back to her with opinions of people that know Mantle far better than I ever could.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Pete

Nope. Drawn.

This is exactly what I told her, then I remembered how much Mick liked to drink, and tried imagining how tricky signing a bat might be while buzzed.....

I couldn't in good conscience not get better opinions.

 Thanks Steve.

 

Agreed. Mick was a pro at signing anything and everything, very shaky and poorly drawn. GA will cert it no problem. 

As will GFA (Rocchi).

Thank you guys, maybe I am not as bad as I thought with The Mick. You all saw exactly what I did at first glance. 

wow, really shaky

As others have mentioned, no good.

Sorry, this is not an authentic Mickey Mantle autograph. 

This is an Authentic Shakey Shantle.

I will say, most of the putrid fake Mantle bats that are "Big Sticks" are not also "Mickey Mantle" bats like this one. So tell your customer Fudd says they have a very special forgery there.

I wasn't confident enough in my feelings to tell her to let the kids hit rocks with it in the backyard, now I am.

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to answer.
