Love some opinions. The guy said he got it signed himself.
Thanks

    Michael, I'm not an expert on Mantle sigs, but I wanted to say that I hope it is real and you have certainly supplied a large enough scan or photo to get a quick opinion from the PSA. If it's real, that's an awesome display.

    STan,
    Thanks I emailed you and was hoping you might be online when I posted this. I always appreciate your expertise, and you've been SPOT on with every auto. So thanks a bunch!

    Just out of curiosity. How much was he asking for it? The piece is amazing!

    It looks good to me. Mantle signed this lithograph for me around 1987 with a very large signature like the one in your photo. I always thought that neat of Mantle, that regardless what size he made his signature, it remained pretty consistent. This is an 11 by 14.

    I'm not a Mantle signature expert, but the sig looks pretty good to me! Maybe Poppa J can add his 2 cents. BTW ... that's a REAL NICE piece.

    Thanks Meteorite! I still don't think that is Randy Johnson on that card!!

    There are unconfirmed rumors the card really features Randy Savage.

    looks good.Its spot on to the one i got.I always remember when i see a mantle auto that one of the forgers from operation bullpen,his best sig was mantles.The guy was an artist by trade .I always have that in the back of my head when i look at mine.It kinda sucks cause if you didnt get it in person you will never know.Thats why ive given up buying any autos.The only autos i get recently are ones I pulled from the pack.
