Help with a MANTLE autograph.

I'd like to know other people's opinions. Many people here know a lot more about auto authentication than I do. My first impression is NO GOOD.

That on a real card or a reprint?

I am by no means an expert, but I know it doesn't "feel right" to me and I would not buy it. The "key" of Mickey is of concern to me. Just basing my view on all of the ones I've seen through the years. It's like a true love, you know it's real when you see it.

I say no good based on Miekey

ZEP - Reprint

BLUE - That's exactly the part of the name I don't feel comfortable with.

and the y is usually pointed and more of a triangle

I've got a buddy that I ask for Mantle and consider him an expert - he likes it (although he says that he has an issue if purchasing with the 'c' in Mickey that PSA may have as well if getting it in a holder)

Thanks very much for your opinion. Tell your friend thank you as well.

I was intrigued so I did a quick ebay search of "mickey mantle psa dna" and flipped through a handlful of auto's. There are quite a few instances where the "c" looks like an "e". But I don't know enough to give an opinion one way or another.
