Mickey Mantle : Need Urgent Help

Hey guys!

I posted this in a thread with a fake ball, so it may not have gotten the exposure it needed. Could you please check out this ball and give your opinion on authenticity? I have the opportunity to purchase, but I'd really like to hear opinions before I pay up.

Also, is there a reason why it looks bolder and brighter than the other sigs on the ball? Is it just a different pen, and it bled a little bit?

Thank you very much!

Not a Mantle expert by any measure, the inscription and the signature look different to me. The formation of the "a' in "game" is different than the "a" in "Mantle".

I may have linked the middle pic incorrectly because it isn't showing up in my browser now. If it isn't showing up for you, here it is again:

No question authentic, inscription authentic as well. See below for references:

Thank you very much, Ryan! I was hoping for your opinion because you're a real expert on Mantle. I'm going to purchase it!
