Authentic, I personally wouldn't pay over $150 for it tho. There are nice bold examples out there at reasonable prices.

Good, but unless you are getting it for under $100, I'd pass with that fading. It's a common pose and you can get signed 8x10s with strong signatures for $130 - $150 with a little patience.

Thanks Mike! unfortunately, In the old days they didn't have top loads and protective supply's such as we have now. I would pay $65 ALL DAY for an Authentic Signature of a Legend such as Mickey Mantle, regardless of condition of the item, as long as the signature is decently legible .I also agree with Mr. Zipper and Ryan, knowing what mint items sell for and the difference of how much to pay for items that have fading and faults. My max bid was $70 and I think it would've sold closer to the $100 if the item had ended during peak time. The same seller has a Joe DiMaggio Autographed 8x10 that has fading and faults, $28.99 starting bid and didn't sell. I couldn't determine Authenticity so I passed.

Opinions please? I don't know on this one. I see both genuine and forgery characteristics on this signature.

Authentic, but that is one I would avoid as I know a few people who have bought that and it ended up being a pre-print...if I recall correctly. Typically comes in a plaque
