A clearer photo would be good, but I’m leaning toward no from what I can see.

Thanks Steve.  Might be a reason the picture was so poor.  Seller said he got it at a live signing.  Skepticle.  Thanks for your help and i will post more pics, if he sends them

These are exemplers from book signings in '85 and '94, respectively!

one thing you can see for sure John is just how BEAUTIFUL those 2 are compared to the trash that's out there now a days.

All these Mantle signatures are like "the magic eye puzzles" with dots from the 1990's that when you blink and look hard enough, you see an image.

From looking at these cartoonish mantle's for so long, it's easy to tell most of these Forgeries with just a blink....literally. just like it is to see the beauty in an authentic one. It's really that easy for many of us and I hope more and more people learn it instead of buying that complete trash that is offered up today by scammers and jerk-offs alike. It's not that hard really.

He got that at a live signing LOLOLOLOLOLO like I got Babe Ruth at a live signing. From what I can see, it's terrible, IMHO. So many effin liars, too little time.

Yeah, this site has saved me from many a stupid decision when it comes to collecting autographs.  Now, if you could all just help me in the other areas of my life, it would be much appreciated.

Having gotten Mantle a few times in person, I can attest that he gave a beautiful, consistent signature 99.9% of the time.  He took his time and talked to you as well.
