I agree with Christopher, this is no-question authentic. Not even a question.

Obviously I have a lot of respect for Chris and Ryan, but I can't see how anyone can declare a fuzzy, photocopy quality image a "no brainer." You are basing that judgement on one factor alone -- shape of the autograph. There is absolutely no indication of speed or pressure evident in this image. Or size for that matter... Would it still be a no brainer if it was a tiny signature on an 8x10 image?

Perhaps it is fine, but I tend to be very careful about making declarations unless I have assessed the WHOLE picture.

I saw enough from the picture to tell it was authentic in about 2 seconds, the only factor missing is whether or not it is real ink or printed, which can't really be judged from a scan to begin with. It's textbook Mantle, nothing even atypical.
