500 Home Run photo - is the Mantle real?

Hi, I have an opportunity to purchase this 500 Home Run photo. I understand that there are many fakes of this photo. I have included a close up of the Mantle signature, and would appreciate opinions on its authenticity.
Thanks in advance,
Allen

Those laughable and ugly "500 Homerun Club" forgeries are usually "authenticated (cough, cough)" by Stephen Rocchi (Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators), Chris "I Never Saw An Autograph I Didn't Like" Morales, Drew Max, and many others.

Look at this crap listed by Ebay seller Tido6060 (a seller of forgeries).

Ebay seller Tido6060 has lowered the "Buy It Now" price four times in an attempt to sell his crap.
