Found this auction on ebay of Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle that I do believe to be genuine. They aren't authenticated by a major 3rd party, comes with a coa from Gallen sports productions inc.

Picture is too small to be certain, but looks good from a distance.

Thanks To all you guys for your inputs, Ive learned a lot by reading your posts and discussions. Im feeling confident about my opinions on mantle sigs. I also have a folder of Jordan authentic exemplars and trying to learn more about his tendencies in signature. I'm hopeful to find a deal and feel confident in a purchase for a Jordan photo.

I found a Mickey Mantle , Willie Mays I would like to share for Opinions. I really havn't looked into Willie Mays yet, But this Mickey Mantle looks to me like a real decent worked forgery?

Ray,

That Mantle and Mays are signed by machine. In fact, we've only seen them on inkjet printed photos, which didn't come out until after Mantle died. Mike is right, they apparently originate from Florida.
