Mantle Autos are these real or fake?

Hello,

what is your opinion on these mantle autos? Also could you give me a percentage of how strongly you feel one way or another? Thanks

The two middle ones (the bat and lito) come from mail order collectables, not sure about the first and last ones

The top and bottom are authentic, the middle Litho and bat are NOT AUTHENTIC.

how sure are you Ryan? Thanks for the feedback. I just want to be sure before I throw away the fakes. These are all my dads. I have the reciept from mail order collectables for the bat and he paid over 800 for it. It is sad to think about. He bought a lot of autos from different sources throughout the 90's and I am just trying to figure out which ones are real and which are fake. I am pretty sure most of them are probably fake unfortunetly.

Altho I would consider myself a mantle beginner, unlike Ryan and some of the others, that bat certainly does not look right.

Joel,

I agree it is sad to know that your Dad got taken but believe me, in the 90's a lot of us did the same thing. we did not have the benefit of on line forums like this for education.

First one and last one are good, the other two are 100% fake.

Anybody else, I am just trying to get as many opinions on them as possible. Thanks for the responses.

I replied in your last post that the bat and litho are bad. You have had a few very good people opine on your thread. Trust what they have to say Joel. Steve, Ryan, Terrier and Mike Kam are really pretty good at spotting fake Mantles.
