I bought a Jagr autograph at a show today and this card came with it. I have racked my brain and serched all the older Penguin rosters, but have no idea who signed this. Anybody here have any idea who the autograph is?

Paul Martha? I thought he was a Steelers player, but apparently had a position with the penguins at one time.

Mo Mantha is probably right. I forgot all about him and only checked their roster up to 1982. I kept going back to Anthony Mantha of the Red Wings in my mind.
Thanks to both of y'all. Like I said it was a throw in with a $2 Jagr autograph. No gaurentee on either of them, but being a Pens fan taking a chance on a Jagr Auto was worth it to me.

I disagree, I think this is Paul Martha, who was the Penguins general counsel and CEO in 1979-80. Moe Mantha didn't join the Penguins until 1984.

That first name does look more like "Paul", with the capital P to start, then the a-u scribbled close together, and then the looped l, which is very close to the capital M of Martha.

Looks more like "Paul" to me as well.

No doubt it is some guy named Mantha, but do we have a Paul Mantha auto to compare with? Paul makes sense, but I googled it and I didn't find one.

According to pittsburghhockey.net, Paul Martha (President) is front row center of that picture.
