The Mantle and the Williams are authentic.

If you could, post a picture instead of an attachment.

Makes it easier for the members to respond.

Justin, awesome that you found an authentic "500 HR Club" signed baseball.

Shop At Home also sold approximately $750,000 in forgeries to consumers during the 1990's.

Fortunately you found one of the authentic versions.

Thanks! Appreciate all the experts weighing in and glad to hear consensus is authentic. I thought all the Shop at Home issues were more in the mid 90s? Figured if it was bought in 1990 that was likely before forgeries really took off.
