Thoughts on this 1951 Mantle? Real or Fake?
 

The guy selling said this is real or get full refund. What do you guys think?

Do the edges look naturally aged an worn?

Corners look artificially worn to me. Easier to tell in hand I’d imagine.

I don't like the look of it. How is he accepting payment? If you're giving him cash and then possibly can't find him again if it comes back fake it isn't worth it.

I don’t like it

Yes the edges on the back seem to have a rust color along it where its not on the front...

What does a magnified close up of the front printing look like?

I don't like it either. Wrong colors.

Also, for a card that's aged to VG at best otherwise, the centering is somewhat abnormally...close to perfect.

This is from eBay so I am protected. I am thinking sending to psa or scg. Might worth a shot.

Save your money and buy a lottery ticket. You have a better chance there.

Guys, if it's hard you you to tell I'd suggest seeing an optometrist.


100% fake

Thanks all. I message the seller I am going to pass.

Good call. As others have said, clearly fake.

Then couple hours later I picked this up.
