Would greatly appreciate some thoughts

On my Mantle, Dimaggio and Williams ball, I also have a Mantle signed alone ball that looks different. I bought these ball about 12 years ago after y dad passed and wanted to leave something for my kids. I have treasured these but I reas so much about fakes I would really appreciate some input. If they are fake, so be it but I just want to know. Thank you for any help. sorry for the bad pictures

Hi Damon...could you try to take a clearer pic of the Mantle? I'd hate to have anyone give you an opinion on it from that image. thanks

I am sorry to say that I do not think the mantle is real.  it also looks like it is in a Gene Budig ball, which even lessens the chance.  It looks very slowly written.

Damon,

I hate to say it but I agree with Terrier. Neither mantle or DiMaggio are good in my opinion...I'm confident if that. No need to check out Williams.

The Mantle is 100% bad.  Sorry.
