Willie auto is unique but as many time as I have seen those they all look legit signatures

looks GEM MINT to me. But, all my cards look better to me than they actually are. You too? 😁🤣That's one for the good guys. Print marks on front and gum stains on the back are 2-notorious issues with this card. They were also issued in 1 penny pack of one with gum. (PSA 10 1 of 1 for the day) Hence, LOSTA gum marks on the backs of the 1951's. The challenge is to find 1 without either. I routinely opine on Mantle Autographs on Net 54 and other sites in the past. I've probably seen a million over 30 years and can tell in a 1/2 blink of an eye for most. The Mantle and the others on your signed ball are actually real. Willie Mays auto is known as the "Fleece Mop". Interesting that the Snider was signed in different pen color or maybe it faded to that color. Scoreboard put these triple signed balls out in the 1980's on Bobby brown AL balls. Today is your lucky day! I wouldn't spend the 100-200 for authentication to PSA, but that's just me. I don't need their stupid sticker for 200. Go ahead and flush your two beans down the toilet if you must. Welp, I have a fireplace that i need to go light up with some 100 dollar bills now. See ya

Thanks for the opinion on the signed ball. That makes me feel better about sending it in for authentication.

With that plastic on the outside it has wrinkles. Can't you take that off or does it preserve it? You can't see the card as good. It's like an oxymoron.

It came with the plastic so the case doesn't get scratched during shipping. I peeled it off after the video and put it in a better protective case

What did you pay for the Mantle? I would have the same concerns you expressed about the purchase. I am just not familiar enough with the 1951 Bowman product to feel confident buying a Mantle like that in the wild.

Paid around 4k and it was 500 to grade. There is a great 30 minute video on KZitem about signs to look for when buying it raw. I downloaded a magnifying app and zoomed in to see the circle dots in the printing process and that is the best way to tell fake vs real. I practiced on some other older cards to see the dots that I'm looking for.

Don't you know that all the self proclaimed "God's" in the card world say it's the 1952 Topps as the rookie? The same say Jackie's is the 1948 Leaf....what a joke. Too many followers in the hobby

I guess the 1951 Bowman has to live in the shadows but that's okay because I wouldn't be able to afford it otherwise.
