the "a" is higher than the c which is always a good sign, and the n ends prematurely instead of coming completely downward, the o in between s and n is also lower which is apparent in most genuine pieces.  Looks good to me CG.

CEE, I had my doubts about this when you first sent me the photos, but I did more research, and one of the things that bothered me was the transition from the "n" to the "s", where the "n" does not come down to the baseline, and it almost looks like a "jump s". Most of his signatures appear to have a consistent baseline. but I did find one that really looks almost identical to yours. What do you think?

I'm in the same situation with the Mantle "signed" golf ball I have. It is even more expensive to send an item to PSA/DNA or JSA from Canada (extra shipping, insurance, and taxes) and the advice you, Terrier, and the Gang have given me on the ball lead me to think it is not even worth sending it in (aka it goes to the G file).
