"I really don’t like to share specifics because people who forge tend to look at the information given and use it to make their forgeries better.  I will tell you that there are very common distinctive features of Mantle’s signature…"

"Thanks to Steve and terrier8HOF.   I am trying to learn more about forgeries in the autograph arena.   Steve can you tell me the reasons why this Mantle autograph appears legitamate?  Thanks again.  Don"

"Thanks, didn’t think to click on the picture.  Yes, the signature is good."

"if you click on the photo, you can see the entire signature. I think it is good also, but the sharpie bled into the wood, making it difficult to be certain."

"From what I can see looks ok, but would like to see the rest of the last name."

"Ok here it is as requested"

"Can you add a closer shot looking directly at it, not angled."

"I would appreciate any opinions regarding this autograph .   Thank you"
