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.

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.
