Early Mantle (1956-57 maybe)...Opinions?

I would call myself a true amateur when it comes to real or fake Mantle autographs. But I came across this and it caught my eye. I have looked at his early years but I cannot tell.

The background from the seller is it was obtained in person at a golf tournament in Florida along with other Yankees of the era. I did the research and he did play in that tournament with the others.

Just wondering if it’s worth more investigating.

looks like an authentic mid fifties version

This certainly isn't the "half moon style" Mantle I'm used to seeing. Very cool.

To put some perspective on this Mantle, these are also offered.

Nice Authentic Pee Wee Reese and Jackie Robinson. You also have Phil Rizzuto Joe Black and Larry Doby. I'm not too familiar with their sigs.

I wish I had them - They are being offered for sale and I wanted to try and get them.

The reason I believed the Mantle was authentic was because of the others being offered.
