    Wow, I was also going to say the Ripken looked a little "off" to me. But everyone signs a little differently on occasion so you never know...

    For the Mantle's -- they look a little "off" as well, but I have seen worse that were authenticated by a major authenticator...

    Autopen

    Both of them

    You can tell because they are exactly the same. Too identical

    My 2 cents

    Look close you can see differences in them

    Yes. Autopen can make slight adjustments but are still pretty much the same.

    If that is Yaz under Williams he looks off to me.

    Another observation. When it comes to the group shot they almost all look identical, similar wear and tear, similar stitching. Just seems odd.

    Mantles and DiMaggio are two of the most forged/faked autographs in Sports History, add the ones in the first post to those. Sorry!
