Help with a Mantle Mays Autographed Picture Legit??

I have the opportunity to buy this but wanted to get some opinions on its authenticity before I go and spend the money at psa/dna. Any thoughts on legitimacy would be appreciated.

    Good? Sheesh, they're almost too good! Sweet sigs with a great pen! How much if I may ask?

    That was probably my next question/post. What is the retail value of an autograph like this. I was just not sure because the original COA was the one below. Anyone heard of Pete Rose Ballpark??

    Check eBay's completed listings on a Mays/Mantle auto'd photo. Never heard of the Pete Rose co.

    Nice fresh ink. It' so hard to tell. Even the photo looks like a new print. I think there are hundreds of Mantle and Mays autopens out there. Never heard of the authenticating company either. I would pass personally.

    Ballpark Collectibles is a pretty well known store in Cooperstown. Rose has done signings there during the HOF induction weekend since he can't attend the actual ceremonies or take part in any of the official goings-on.

    The address on the cert is the same address.

    Assuming the cert actually goes with the picture you're pretty safe and I'd agree with the others the sigs look pretty good.
