<p>You may be right, BC. We haven't identified new machine-signed Mantles besides the million or so from Tony Podsada.</p>

<p>I have a MM index card that I'd be willing to part with at $140 if everyone thinks it is real (I bought it earlier in the long and continuing process of learning). I'll post a picture later today. If the experts don't like it, it'll find a home in the shredder.</p>

<p>Fudd, I actually only collect signed index cards. So a photo would be of no interest to me. Mantle index with PSA OR JSA seem to range in the 300$ area. </p>

<p>You learn something new everyday. Thank you, Steve Z. </p>
<p>I'll be honest with you. It's not the worst forgery I've ever seen. If that's what it is. Just my opinion.</p>

<p>Bear in mind that 3x5 cards are typically the tool of the freebie through the mail collector. And Mantle rarely, if ever, responded through the mail.</p>
<p>And when he was doing card shows charging high rates (for the time), what are the odds someone was going to pay the high fee for a signed index card? Almost nil.</p>
<p>In person is always a possibility, of course. But if you were playing the odds, the fact that it is on a 3x5 card in and of itself, tells you authenticity is…</p>

<p>and now to see the item in all it's glory, I'm sure I wouldn't want it for 25 bucks. 99% of cuts and index cards are forgeries, IMHO.</p>
<p>Way to save yourself from a beating like a red headed step child.</p>
<p>For $175, you can get a great authentic photo, not on an index card LOL</p>
