Mantle, Williams, DiMaggio auto pic - are these real?

Question for the board experts:

A friend of mine bought this at our school auction. It had a COA. I've seen others like this. Just an opinion - are these authentic signatures? What is the story behind this particular picture and the autos. Any help would be great.

He bought it as a conversation piece and I'd love to tell him that the autos are legit.

Thanks, Tony

Well it's certainly a great conversation piece. He can tell his friends about the time he bought a fake Williams/Mantle/DiMaggio signed photo from a school auction

Who is the COA from?

Not real. There are tons of photos of these 3 together that are signed and in my experience, almost all of them are fake.

for what it's worth, I've owned one authenticated by PSA for quite some time now...always wondered about it's authentication but it looks awesome on the hall of fame wall with other cool auto pics...tell your friend to enjoy it and show it off but if it's that important to him, he should try and get jsa or psa to look at it.

Sorry but I have no clue about the authenticity of those signatures.

However, I do have one of these autographed photos which I know is absolutely 100% authentic............because I personally obtained them. In the early 1980's, the three of them were signing at a card show in either Atlantic City or New York somewhere, sorry that I don't remember exactly where, but they were selling the unsigned photos for fans to buy and get autographed. I sure wish I kept better records of this sort of thing. I did buy a photo and get it signed by them along with a couple of baseballs so I do have one that is 100% authentic. I will try to take a picture and post it later.
