Mantle Auto Opinions

Thoughts? Book is a stat book from 1986.

Not an expert but am I seeing multiple areas where it looks like someone has stopped and restarted while signing? I notice it in the M, E and Y in Mickey and M and maybe the L in Mantle. It's really hard to tell with the pic.

Yeah should have provided better pic - sorry about that.

I feel like its close to this (bot not close enough) PSA DNA version -

Agree. The "K" also looks like it was stopped. Also, the M's are tilted to the right unlike the DNA example.

Plenty of red flags already pointed out. Also, I’ve never seen loops in the middle of the Ms like that.

Typically, the bottom of the “M” in Mantle is at the same level as the first name - see the PSADNA sample shown above - but the OP sinks below “the line”.

Add that to the other questionable items brought up and I’d say it’s not legit.

Thanks guys! I always appreciate the expert takes on this board.
