I have worked very hard to learn how to identify authentic Willie Mays and Joe Dimaggio autographs, and I think I do a reasonable job but I still really struggle with Mantle. I have  attached two different Mantle autographs from items that are not authenticated. Can I get your expert opinions on both items so I can see if I am making any progress? Thanks!

One is good, Two is bad

I wouldn't want either one in my collection

you know, calling a respected member of the forum a profanity, isn't always the best way to go... count me in the group of people who often answer authenticity questions this way. we weren't there to see it or not, so i rarely come right out and call something good or a fake... just whether or not i'd be comfortable having either in my collection utilizing my personal opinions and others on the matter to come to a consensus i'm comfortable with. Terrier clearly doesn't feel comfortable making a specific determination either way, but his gut obviously says he doesn't feel right saying definitively one way or another. instead of bad mouthing him, you should be thanking for chiming in at all, because even that opinion of his carries much weight around here.

That's uncalled for, Roger.

Terrier is one of the most respected and knowledgeable collectors on this site.

You owe Terrier an apology.

Roger, I can tell you didn't realize how Terrier meant what he said. As the other members have said, he was just being helpful. A number of us have been threatened with lawsuits and worse just for giving our opinions, so many of us are careful how we word things.

We try to be a profanity-free zone and don't like personal attacks, too, so please do keep that in mind.

Thanks

I agree with Mike Kam; the first is good, second bad.
