So I found this while searching COMC.  First off, it is not the pack pulled version.  Instead, it is a signed 'after-the-fact' card.  I saw this same card sell for about $500 on ebay (real versions sell for about $800-1000).  Now the buyer is trying to flip this card to some sucker on COMC for $1000.00!!!  Sad to see COMC is as bad a ebay.  The PSA/DNA sticker on the back means squat to me...previous owner could have peeled it off of a PSA/DNA certified auto of Ozzie Canseco for all we know.  I for one am saying they are ALL forgeries based off of the terrible forgery of mantle staring right at you front and center...   OPINIONS??

Ok.  I checked the PSA/DNA registry and this sticker comes back legit.  They even have a picture of this exact card in the database.  Am I crazy?  That mickey mantle auto does not look legit AT ALL!!!

Mantle is fine. Not sure what your issues are with it? Maybe the "c" but the rest is spot on. 

Honestly, and I don't intend to be a smart ass, but my issues are with the m, i, c, k, e, and y.  They are all flat and uniform.  How often do mantles i, c, and the up and down line of the k match perfectly (by perfectly i mean they look like three cursive i's written side by side).  Then there's the rest of the K, specifically the 'C' looking formation that's creates the K.  Finally, the e and y...the y, i don't know how to describe it other than FLAT.  

It is signed with a gold paint pen rather than the typical felt tip marker Mantle normally used which likely required him to be extra careful lifting the pen but the autograph is authentic.

Not being a smart ass, just telling you my opinion based on studying Mantle for many years.

There are obviously a lot of Mantle experts here who have not responded yet but I would be shocked if there are any that question this Mantle being authentic.

Does not change my opinion of the Mantle autograph on the pictured card. It is unquestionably authentic IMO.

Nice Card.

The Yastrzemski is likely bad ( I can't really see the Carl), but PSA and JSA have both mis-authenticated Yaz signatures before.

I feel that this card is Authentic

the card may be authentic, but the Yaz is not.  the Y is way off, as is the baseline of Yastrzemski, and the letter formation.  it is a forgery, imo. I have seen others like this.

That alone (yaz being a forgery) makes me wonder about the other two.  (I have posted a pic of the one from my collection for comparison). 

Compared to this one (pack pulled) from my collection. 

I like this one much better. especially the way Mantle kept his signature inside the photo. that is something he would have tried to do.  this yastrzemski is authentic, unlike the other one.
