Learning more about Mantle Autographs

I have two autographs of Mickey Mantle and I am having a hard time telling if it is real or fake. I have read that a lot of fakes have a hard time with the "C" and "K" on Mickey.

Also did Mantle pick up his pen or marker after his M's or was it one smooth motion?

Hey Nick...I feel the black and white pic you posted in your second link is good....I have a massive collection of authentic and fake examples....I will send them over to you tomorrow...the early Mantle example is hard to tell...Mantle had 3 styles that Iam aware of...I have actually seen his early styles morph into each other as well...but as far as the fakes out there...most definitely in huge numbers...if its not PSA or JSA...stay away...
