    Awesome Video, do you know where I can find a good video for the older Mantle auto's like ~1950 before he did the half-moon's? Seems like his older auto's don't follow all of these same rules you mentioned.

    Frank, the dot on the "i" is also a giveaway. Mantle usually dragged it down versus making a "dot." Thanks for the video, I learned some other tips!

    I appreciate you sharing. Very informative. I have a newer one that I am pretty sure is fake. It looks like the banana example. His autograph has changed over the years for sure. I have another one he signed in 1952 that my wife's Uncle got from Archie Wilson who was a family relative through marriage. He had the Yankees who were there that day sign the a piece of stationary from the Soreno Hotel where they stayed during spring training. The only big names I know that didn't sign it were Bill Dickey and Billy Martin. White Ford was not on the team at the time due to a military commitment. Archie Wilson was Mantle's roommate in spring training. Definitely different looking than the ones you show, but his signature was nice, just more simple.

    • @baseballHOFautographs

      Agreed, he had such a good signature in the 50s, but still nice until the end

    • @baseballHOFautographs
      @baseballHOFautographs  Рік тому

      Correct, when he was a rookie/early years, his "m" was more of a standalone M and not really a cursive M. Guess you could always send it in to a TPA (PSA/JSA)

    I have a autograph from Mickey Mantle on a prescription slip that he personalized on October 24th 1952 when he had to have a physical at the US Army Hospital in Fort Sill OK. It was a 2 day physical that my step-grandfather was able to get as he was one of the Doctors who was working there. I know it's authentic, but is it worth getting it authenticated? I'm not looking to sell. I just want to frame it and hang it.

    • @baseballHOFautographs
      @baseballHOFautographs  2 роки тому +1

      Honestly, depending on size, I would maybe get it encapsulated to UV protect it. However, if you know it is real-authenticating it just for the sake of authenticating it is a waste of $$ IMHO.

    I got burned on a Dimaggio, Mantle, Williams 8x10 made by the Operation Bullpen guys. I was 15-16 and had to put it on "layaway" and pay the guy every few weeks with money I made mowing lawns. It takes a special kind of scumbag to rip off a kid like that. I'm an expert on Mariano Rivera (1400 of his autos in my collection) if you or anyone else ever need a free opinion on one of his let me know.
