Is this Mickey Mantle Autograph real?

Can someone tell me if this Mickey Mantle signature is authentic. I hope the picture is decent enough. I scanned it.

Aaron,

I'm sorry, but this is a common Mickey Mantle forgery we've discussed quite a bit on this site. Probably tens of thousands of people have been burned on these. Where did you buy it, and when? It will be hard to get a refund, but we'll help if we can.

It was actually given to me for free, so I didn't lose any money. I was just curious if it was real or not

Steve is correct on both points.  It is a forgery and tens of thousands of this type of Mantle forgery have infected the hobby.
