I think you were missing what I was getting at.

I know the sig is real. But I know a lot of ppl on here would say that Mautle was a tell tell sign of a fake mantle sig.

That one in question is in fact a Mautle not a manlte and its authentic. So that theory doesnt hold water anymore in my opinion.

When they talk about "Mautle" you can usually tell that the rest of the signature is off. In this case, there's a small abnormality.

ok, so your saying that the sig is in fact real, and the U shape is ok because the overall sig is ok?

just learning.  I see a lot that have the mautle but not as blatant as this photo, but the rest of the sig looks great and spot on. good to know

thanks mike

Yes. People here have taught me to look at the overall signature and not just one part :)

There is nothing "abnormal" about that Mickey Mantle autograph.  It's gorgeous.

I think it's fair to say that the "n" is just a little strange and looks more like a "u" and that's what Tyler is asking about.

Actually, Mike, to the trained eye, it isn't strange at all.

But you bring up a good point, Mike.  That's where someone with a trained eye can immediately see that it's authentic.

It's actually a beautiful Mickey Mantle penned autograph.

I agree with Christopher, this is a very nice example and I would not hesitate to add it to my collection.
