Sorry, this is a forgery.

No good.  I don’t think I ever saw Mantle use a hash mark next to the number 7.  He always uses NO 7, as far as I have ever seen.

Thanks for the help! Yes, I thought the number was odd as well but I am not the best at spotting Mantle forgeries. When in doubt it never hurts to ask! Thanks!

the signature looks good to me.  the #7 does not.  may have been added by another hand, although it does look like the same ink.

I agree with Terrier. The signature looks fine to me. The inscription is suspect.

That's the Mick alright. Someone else added #7 to try and get more dough.
