In my opinion, this is likely not authentic. Formation and slant issues and portions of the signature appear to be carefully drawn. You can see how slowly "antle" was constructed.

The slowness of the "M" in Mickey gives it all away, no good in my opinion JBS.

I agree with the others, but Mr. Zipper and Cee Gee know Mantle much better than I do. The slowness gives it away big-time, but the handwriting is clearly off to me, especially Mantle. 

What's the story on this, JBS? Can you post a link to the auction?
