1951 Bowman Mantle.....fake or not?
I know this is a fake, I sent the seller an email and his reply:
"Who the hell are you and who asked you your opinion..anyways I took it in into a reputable store and was told it was truly authentic ..you moron." Notice how the back scan has a chunk missing but the front doesn't...kinda reminds me of the movie Dumb and Dumber. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...:X:RTQ:US:1123 edited to add....I have reported the item to ebay (probably won't matter though) edited again: he revised back pic @ 16:58 |
It's amazing how many of these fake cards always come from "grandpa's attic" or they are "family heirlooms". You would think these guys would come up with a new angle... :rolleyes:

Definitely a fake, the blue (cap) and red (back printing) colors are way too bright.......

I agree with Phil & Doug. This one doesn't even look close to being an original.
|
At any rate, the seller sounds like a very classy and friendly fellow.

Sounds like an honest fella... if you think about it, everything is authentic. I have access to dozens of authentic forged Babe Ruth autographs. They are available for sale or trade if anyone is interested. Also if you check his other auctions he has a "Large Beatles Butcher [Yesterday and Today] Collection" up for auction and an "Authentic Stan Mikita Game Stick Autographed by Entire Team". That one has been in his family since he was 10 years old. Only a 'moron' would question the authenticity of such rare heirlooms.

Funny stuff...

Some family the guy comes from. Did they give him an Action Comics #1 yet or are they saving it for a special occassion?
