1994 Upper Deck Mickey Mantle - Is this Mantle Autograph Authentic?

Considering buying this on eBay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MICKEY-MANTLE-AUTO-1994-UPPER-DECK-AUTOGRAP...

Not a Mantle auto expert, so would like your opinions about the Mantle auto below is legit. Looks too perfect to me, but I'm a novice when it comes to Mantle's autograph. Also, does anyone know about the history of this card? How many were produced, etc.

Let me see if I understand this correctly:

Christopher helps you and says that it's not only real, but also a very nice example, and you "thank him" by saying that he has wasted your time...

I can't believe the nerve of some people! That's beyond stupid...

Are you serious???? You got your answer, from the best you can get it from, and he's wasting your time? I can't believe your response.

You have issues, buddy. Honest answer? I ask you a simple question to support your claim, yet you come up with a d******** response. You expect me to take you seriously? GTFOH, clown.

Look, I don't who you really are, but I gave you an honest answer that didn't cost you a dime.

BWR, Christopher is the best Mantle person around. He gave you an answer. It takes time to study legit auto's, and he has done that-that was also his answer. If he says its good, its good.

BWR,

Your behavior is not the kind that we accept on the site. I'm suspending you and you will not be allowed back.

I was being facetious. you made the comment that it seemed "too perfect". the banana M's are a known sure sign that it is a forgery. this example is no doubt authentic. And Christopher is correct, if he says it is authentic, you don't need another opinion.
