Extremely rare rookie/pre-rookie signature example from The Mick in blue steeltip on a 3" x 1.5" off-white album page. These Mantle examples are rarely offered, with this example being MINT in nature. Given the signature example & past exemplars we have concluded this signature to be a 1951 or prior signature as Mantle changed his signature as soon as 1952-53 to a more rounded "M" & "K" in those examples. Authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA).
