That's what I think too. The Mantle auto does look like his auto. The Berra not so much. If it were me, I'd take them somewhere to a person you trust and get them authenticated.
Just for comparison, here is the in person auto I got in April 2011.
STAY HEALTHY!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

Unless his signature changed drastically from my 70's exemplar, I'm not a fan of the Yogi.

I don't think the Mantle is any good either.

I'm in no way an expert on Mantle, but the "swoop" on the first M seems a little sloppy/off. I could very well be wrong.
both bad.
IMO the berra is way off.
The Mantle doesn't have the right flow in important areas of the signature.

Flow is very important.
