I need to step in here. First time posting.... please don't hold this against me. I frequent this forum and have gained much knowledge from it. With that being said.... This Mantle is 100% FAKE! I'm guessing it's a 5x7 attached to a plaque? These have been floating around eBay for at least 15 years. I am not being rude, but I can't believe nobody else knows this. Anyone who collects autographs from this era has seen this countless times. Please don't attack me, I'm just trying to save the person who bought this some money. Search Mantle Signed 5x7 and you will see this exact photocopy numerous times. I'm not saying that this forum doesn't help collectors, it does, but I really can't believe all the so called experts don't recognize this photocopy... Sorry if I offended anyone, it's not my intention. I just want to save somebody from getting ripped off. Thanks.

I don't think you're offending any of us, Jefferson. The ones in the OP are genuine IMO. The forgeries you're referring to are mechanically signed, probably using a higher-end plotter, in Sharpie on photos printed on desktop inkjet photo paper. 

You'll find some in this album of sports autographs by the same forger:
