I’m not too sure you will ever find a Mickey Mantle model bat signed by him that is legit. Per his contract with UDA, he was not able to sign any of those bats as he had a numbered edition with UDA up to #1951.

he reportedly signed a ton of them for his sons, which I believe is why he wouldnt sign bats at his paid signings. They are out there but they are very expensive.
