<p>I'm curious why authentic ones aren't around.</p>
<p>Mantle was accessible through card shows and the like; Maris wasn't as accessible, but he still put pen to paper between 1962 and 1985.</p>
<p>I understand why they wouldn't be a collector's first choice, but has an authentic one seriously never surfaced?</p>

<p>I do believe the new Roger Maris "signed" items (especially on those Safe At Home posters) were probably hand-penned within the last year; probably as recently as six months.</p>
