That’s definitely not real IMO. If you were to have it in your hands, you will almost certainly find that it was signed on an inkjet printed photo. Those came out after Mantle died.

No, the photo it's signed on was inkjet printed. The signature is signed on the photo in marker.

Mickey mantle died in 1995. There is tons and tons of forged mantle floating around especially out of Florida. So back to his death. The ink still looking wet.

I’m not surprised. He was a heavy, heavy drinker.
