I had him sign all 3 in person when he was alive. The blue pen one I paid 50.00 when he signed at shows in the 90s. and the 2 black sharpie ones I meet him at a charity event and he signed them for me. Just wanted to see what yall thought.
Was he still drinking when he signed that 3rd one. That right one out of all of them looks the worse (not that the other 2 look bad but if you got those 2 in person, better for you. I wouldn't recommend buying any mantle auto's unless authenticated by psa/dna. My dealer had a ball that he brought to the monthly local card show and jsa was on site and they said the ball was no good. I swear the thing looked good to me but I guess they have a way of knowing.
Mantle signed all over the place. The worst was at the end of a signing when he usually had a few drinks in him by then, And yes I remember going to the mall shows back in the 80's and he was signing everything in sight for $35. a pop.
