Mickey Mantle with Scoreboard COA?

Hello,

Was wondering if there were some opinions on this Mantle autographed ball? COA is from Scoreboard and I know some are legit and some not. I've tried to read up to see if I could determine anything myself and must admit that the fakes look awfully close to the real thing to me. Any thoughts? Including the Scoreboard COA as well.

You have to post a better photo than that.

I can also state that 99.99% of Mantle forgeries are not "awfully close to the real thing."

Hi,

I've tried to replace the picture with 2 others. Is this readable?

if you are looking to buy this, and that is the best photo the seller has to provide to you, then walk away. the baseline on the c is uncharacteristically lower than the k. It is likely another fake scoreboard cert trying to sell a forgery.
