Opinion on this one?

Appreciate any feedback on whether the Maris and Mantle signatures are authentic or clubhouse signed.

Bump. Any and all help appreciated.

I'm certainly not the expert that many are on this site - but the clubhouse Mantle sigs that I've seen from that period don't flow this well (I have a '64 Topps with a clubhouse signature). To me, neither look either typical or unreasonable for early 1960.

I know it's not exactly decisive, but maybe it will help get you a more educated response.

Thanks. I thought the same on the Mantle. Looks pretty close. The Maris is the one that has me perplexed. It is not his typical signature style. However, the 1961 Contract PSA has as an exemplar looks really close to this ball:
