Mickey Mantle REAL OR FAKE? HELP

I have a general gut feeling on this. It is a brochure to order Mickey Mantle signed items via mail order and this particular brochure has a "Mickey Mantle" signature on it. Opinions? Looks off to me, but I need experts on this. Essentially it is a price list that Mantle sent someone back who wrote him with an autograph request. The ink looks faded, and I would swear this isn't real.....but figured i'd get a second opinion because when it comes to Mantle...I am no expert

It just doesn't have the right 'flare' I look for in a mantle auto. Some things don't look right.

Overall it has a weak, tentative look, but it could be the result of the grainy, soft image. The "Mantle" especially looks drawn and slow with a bad T to L transition. Odd looking a.

I have doubts, but I would reserve a final decision pending a sharp image.

This signature lacks any flare, fluidity, or any sign of even being signed quickly. Appears drawn or traced IMO.

Also, I have never seen a "brochure" TTM auto from The Mick... The only autographs TTM I have seen were fan club letters that he signed his name at the bottom of the letter.
