Is this authentic? Not sure if there is a Mantle thread already started, if so I apologize for the double post.

There is a Mantle, Williams, DiMaggio discussion, but yes...this Mantle looks great!

The random small line underneath the name seems odd to me, perhaps the sharpie slipped. Who knows. I think I may go for it. Thanks Steve.

Ryan,

There are members much better than me on Mantle, so get their opinions too. Just give this discussion another hour or so.

I am not 100% on Mantle's.  I am a little concerned about the spacing with the "ick" however.  Let's see if CEE GEE or Christopher can chime in here.

The "." above the "i" looked a tad off to me too.... Typically the dot was right above the lowercase "i" or sometimes even behind it... this one looks way out in front. I'll see if CEE GEE or Chris chimes in.

it would not surprise me if this were authentic. the dot and the underline aren't deal breakers.  there are a lot of positives, but I am just not strong enough with Mantle's yet to say for certain.

That is a authentic Mantle autograph.

Chris,

  I'm curious why he put the line under his signature. I've seen that but not sure why he did it. Do you know why he did that?

  Looks like he is using it for centering his signature....atleast thats what I'm going to guess.

Rick

I do not know the rhyme or reason, but he did the underscore occasionally. I've seen it many times before.

MAYBE HE WAS GETTING READY TO WRITE AN INSCRIPTION OR SOMETHING AND THEN CHANGED HIS MIND.NICE AUTOGRAPH.

Could be bit I dont think so. I've seen in on Mantle's before.

You think he was going to inscribe it when the show folks said oh no, that guy didn't pay the extra inscription fee? Could be.  Would be funny though. LOL

This is definitely an authentic Mantle.
