MICKEY MANTLE AUTHENTIC EXEMPLARS... READ ALL ABOUT IT!
I just wanted to post these here to see what Fudd the Lowly Mantle Collector can do to help stop the flood of forgeries into the market place. The goal is that we can all start educating ourselves before we buy. To see what a beautiful signature the Mick had, and to learn to distinguish it from the obvious forgeries at first glance. Something TTA, STAT, DREW MAX, GAI GLOBAL (Baker certs) My Favorite Players Reborn (Tony Podsada) & Christopher Morales can't seem to do....at all? You will almost never see a signature in this photo album collection that would match or come close to anything that has been certed by any of those guys. Maybe you'll find 1 in a 1000 if you're lucky. To tell the difference between what an original hand signed Photo by the Mick looks like vs. an obvious Fake at first glance is easy. Give it a try. It's Fun!
As has been told many times, The Mick made more in one signing than his dad did in 1 year. He felt obligated to his fans to give them a "work of art". He did this by signing on just the right spot for the particular photograph he was presented. The size of his signature was determined by how big the sweet spot was. He knew EXACTLY how to fit his signature in so it looked perfect. A thing of beauty really. Please note that these are not all the same signature over and over, but merely a sample from my collection. What I do know is that these are consistent with the WAY Mantle signed and structured his Autograph as we know it. Good luck! FUDD

Brandon, your Mantle comments are uncalled for and have no place here, and there is absolutely no excuse for you to attack Mike Frost personally here.
This has been a very constructive thread and we would like to keep it that way.

Hi Brandon,
I removed the comment with Harrison Ford SPs, since this is a Mantle discussion and we want to keep it closely related to Mantle. I removed the small Mantle pics you uploaded, because of their size—they're too small to add to the discussion.
I'm also editing or deleting comments with personal attacks or other things that don't fit.
Thanks for your understanding.

BM,
We all have a past I guess, and it's better to concentrate on the present & future. I think the Mullet is about due for a comeback anyway? I read somewhere that Mantle is currently is #3 on E-bays most searched list. So the drunk does remain relevant even today despite his imperfections. That's what makes him so lovable to his millions of fans.
I'd like to keep this blog informative about Mantle, where beginners and seasoned vets can come to get a look at some real sigs & fakes. I think it's great for the autograph community and I thank everyone for keeping the blog relevant. While I do feel NASCAR is basically a pimple on Mantle's ass, you are certainly entitled to your opinions and I can respect that too.
As for the 3 you posted. I believe them all to be Authentic! Nice going getting on board learning Mantle! I know it's a big step for you and it can only help in your future endeavors.

It's actually two, because the SP appears to be two images of the same item. I agree that the SP looks good, although it is odd that Mantle did not center his signature better over the light background. As you know, he usually took great care the place and size his signature for maximum contrast.
The HOF card is tougher due to adhesion issues, but it appears to be likely authentic as well.

No way Fudd. I will leave Mantle to you Mantle lovers. Steve I figured you could use those PAAS items elsewhere. Feel free to remove the images. Maybe there is a more appropriate thread for the PAAS items.

Btw Fudd. NASCAR's @ss is a lot nicer now that Danica has arrived

I think that's the one thing we can all agree on, Brandon.
