    I don't think so. Early Mantle autographs did not have pointed "M"s. They were very round. A lot different from his later autographs, and I don't think close to that one.

    This one is from 1958, and very similiar to his earlier (1952 and '53) autos. As he got older, his M's became even more rounded.

    It is not an authentic Mickey Mantle signature.

    I saw this about a week ago and even did a double take on it. Did you buy this?

    I bought the ball. it looks to good to pass up. I have never seen a stamped Mickey mantle ball. it's an offical American League ball. Who know until i get it. Anyway it looks cool and the price is right

    Most of the team signed Yankee balls from that era were signed by the bat boys for Mantle. You should maybe post in the autograph forum, they would know better.

    Yep, I pretty much never buy a Yankee or Dodger team baseball for that reason.
