5 DIFFERENT MICKEY MANTLE STYLE SIGNATURES AUTHENTICATED BY G.A.I.....3 AUTHENTICATED BY MIKE BAKER

All of these autographs were authenticated by G.A.I which raises the question....how the hell could one company authenticate 5 different style Mickey Mantle signatures ?!?!?!?!...Mike Baker authenticated 2 of these items which the one on top is actually authentic in my opinion....he actually authenticated that one...

The second Mantle I am really not quite sure about...is that a bad authentic Mantle or better then usual forgery ?...that middle Mantle really has me scratching my head...also authenticated by G.A.I. I don't like it...good or bad...its off to me

The third Mantle we all know about....garbage all day all the way...also authenticated by G.A.I. I do admit that I have seen some authentic Mantles popping up lately....were there coming from is beyond me since the great Mickey Mantle has been deceased since 1995...16 YEARS...

The fourth Mantle is really the closest I have seen in a long time...this will by far be the style that really ruins a extremely tainted hobbie already !!!! Iam guessing the guy that did the second Mantle also did the forth one also authenticated by Mike Baker !!!!!

The fifth one has my baffled...WTF is going on here !?!?!?!?!

JUST LIKE MY MAN CLINT EASTWOOD....I REFER THESE AUTOS AS THE GOOD...THE BAD...AND THE UGLY...and now THE REAL UGLY

Feel free to post any G.A.I Mantles good and bad...let me know what you guys think...

Ball is also no good...not a bad fake I might add but there is lots of bad qualities about it...this ball is better then the jersey but there both NOT AUTHENTIC...Unfortunately the guy purchased some fakes not knowing what he was purchasing in the first place...It happens more often then not...I have been burned on bad Mantles in the past...but I am sure if you show any Mantle in question on this site you will buy a good one eventually...both of those are worthless...

I have learned alot here regarding Mickey Mantle autos which i collect and have come to the conclusion PSA and JSA although not authenicating forgeries on purpose. Like alot of others mentioned here are no better then the restb and shouldnt be considered the judge and jury on authentic items I have seen at least 10 styles which typically get the LOA JSA seems way out there sometimes anyone else feel this way........Jdfan

In my experience, PSA and JSA are correct on Mantle a very high percentage of the time. I'd like to see the exemplars you think are questionable that have a JSA LOA.
