questionable eBay item

I asked this seller if he can confirm the authenticity of these autographs and he said he got them himself, in person. What do you think? The auction ends in about 16 hours.

RARE 1979 "The Thurman Munson Roast"Signed Program. (#261069384113)

Love to hear your opinions.

Thanks,

Jack

Jack, in the future, if you're going to ask fellow collectors for opinions, at least post a link or photos.

So he got that Mickey Mantle in person? Seriously?

Sorry I am a rookie here. You can see that he posted my question on the auction page.

No problem Jack - it also helps to post the seller information as where there is one there can be others. Once it's removed from EBAY they can be tough to locate.

It took me about 12 looks to see the Mantle. Not a good sign.

I have never seen a Mickey Mantle autograph that looks like that. Reggie's is curious as well. Sparky Lyle is a lefty and normally his signature slants in that direction.

Looks like eBay pulled this item from the auction around 8 AM ET. I was watching it and received an email from the eBay security department, warning me to not purchase it offline if offered to me.

So I guess I should put a watch on all of the fake garbage that we are surfing through on here. Interesting Jack.

Piniella...Howard...and Lyle...I do like...Jackson looks off...not sure about that one...he signs like a jerk most of the time so that could go either way...Steinbrenner MAY be good...I never seen his name signed n full like that but since this is from what should be the late 70's I would say its good...the formation is there to his later signatures...

Don't recognize the others but rest assured...THAT IS NOT AN AUTHENTIC MANTLE !!!!!!!
