Mantle Signed Baseball - Real?

Need your help! Is this Mantle authentic? It looks good to me but Beckett signature review says unlikely - what are your thoughts? If bad, can you explain because it has all the basic hallmarks that I have learned to look for (no banana, 3 different “plains” of writing for the “Mickey”. the “Man” and the “tle” - please share your opinion, thank you in advance!

Now that I take a really close look - is the first M too rigid and not fluid?

Not a fan of this

Thanks Steve - would you be able to briefly explain why you have that feeling? I’m genuinely interested for my own education and it looks much closer than so many obvious fakes.

There are at least 5 areas that don’t look right to me.  I prefer not to go into exact detail as it helps forgers correct their mistakes.

That makes perfect sense - much appreciated!
