The N in mantle looks a little like a u that is why it looks fake to me.

John you can't always go by that, this one looks the exact same and is 100% authentic. I need a brighter picture to evaluate the pen speed, but I am very confident this is authentic.

Im not even close to an expert on this.  So I`m guessing.. someone will correct me if I`m wrong.  But it looks ok to me.  Like I said though.  Im no Mantle Expert.  How about the other sigs.  can we look at those as well.

Clearer/lighter picture would help, but looks good to me.

try using a flash, these pics make it impossible to render an opinion

if  the ball is fake, there where two or more people sign the fakes, because there is different pressures on the signatures if you see the ball in person.

Definitely post a clear pic of the Mantle.  I know Willie Mays' signature enough to sort of comment on it and it looks good to me

Mantle has some shakiness in the M's from what I can see but it could be real, I'm not that good when it comes to his signature.

I took a picture in the sun light, the flash was to much noise in the picture. sorry about that
