I have a general gut feeling on this.  It is a brochure to order Mickey Mantle signed items via mail order and this particular brochure has a "Mickey Mantle" signature on it.  Opinions?  Looks off to me, but I need experts on this.   Essentially it is a price list that Mantle sent someone back who wrote him with an autograph request.  The ink looks faded, and I would swear this isn't real.....but figured i'd get a second opinion because when it comes to Mantle...I am no expert

It just doesn't have the right 'flare' I look for in a mantle auto. Some things don't look right.
Im torn on this one.

Overall it has a weak, tentative look, but it could be the result of the grainy, soft image. The "Mantle" especially looks drawn and slow with a bad T to L transition. Odd looking a.

I have doubts, but I would reserve a final decision pending a sharp image.

Anyone else with an opinion....please 

I dont like it...but have seen worse.

This signature lacks any flare, fluidity, or any sign of even being signed quickly. Appears drawn or traced IMO. 

Also, I have never seen a "brochure" TTM auto from The Mick... The only autographs TTM I have seen were fan club letters that he signed his name at the bottom of the letter.

Well i saw it in person and passed.  It was obviously fake and you can tell when looking at it in person.  Thanks for the help guys
