Mickey Mantle Autograph Authentic

Any help verifying if this auto is authentic would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if I’m not following protocol as I’m new to the site. Auto has auth from global authentication which I’ve read is a red flag but have also seen mixed views on that so thought I would post this here and see if anyone might be willing to give me some feedback. Thank you in advance.

Not authentic in my opinion. Sorry!

Thank you! Is there anything specific about it that makes you feel it’s not authentic, just curious and looking to educate myself a bit, thank you again!

It's a common cookie cutter forgery type sold in mass quantities. Once you see enough of them and identify the "look," it sticks out like a sore thumb. It has many issues, but the shapes of the Ms are distinct.

Definitely fake IMO. Every one we've had in hand was printed on an inkjet printer on inkjet photo paper that came out after Mantle died.

100% Fake.  A very poor forgery attempt.

Believe me, if you find any positive reviews from Global, they are from people associated with Global.
