Mickey Mantle ball

Doesnt have the obvious characteristics of the common forgeries that I’ve studied, but it doesn’t sit right with me.  Any opinions?

@terrier8hof he posted some better photos.  What do you think?

I think it looks like the Mick.

Looks very close, I think it might be good but wait for a few others to chime in as well

it could be authentic but there is something about it that just looks off to me

There’s a few things terrier the Y in Mickey is probably the biggest concern

That’s how I felt when I saw it.  I can’t pinpoint it, but it doesn’t look like a slam dunk either way.

Not authentic.

The Ms look fairly good but the spacing from to (e) to the (y) is wrong and of course the y itself looks strange

Christopher, was it the E-Y that lead you to that opinion or other factors?

The entire sig is "too slow."  Formation is off, etc.

I agree Chris, it just looks off.
