Well I accidentally threw out the Colt 45 ticket stub that was from the April 9 1965 game which would help authenticate this photo signed by MM.  And as a 13 year old at the time of this, I could not spell correctly.  I would be interested in this authentic signature picture go to a collector.

this does not look like a 1965 Mantle signature.  He stopped making his M's like this in the late 50's.

Exactly, he had already changed his signature by this time.

I have that same photo in my collection. Mine was signed in and around '73 -'74 spring training.
