It does look a little slowly drawn and may even be one of those fancy new "printed autograph balls"? I don't like the dark pen skipping the entire autograph for starters????????That's fishy.

The "Mantle" doesn't look like it was signed with the usual authority either. Slow flick "M", little rounded "a" and the "ntle" just look off, IMHO.

If it's a forgery that is meant to fool and not a tchotchke, it's a nice one.

Fudd, this is great stuff. Thank you.Very enlightening. When I first saw the autograph myself, I did a double take. I didn't think forgery. I did think it was slowly signed.

If it's a forgery, it's a good one. When I was learning the mantle, all the forgeries I saw were so blatantly obvious. But this one? Wow.

I completely agree with Fudd.

I can understand why beckett failed this

This is why sometimes an in-person examination of an autograph is absolutely necessary.

Beckett made the right call.
