Here's an article written about how to spot a fake '52 Mantle:

Note, I did not write this article, and it is for reference only. The guide is copyrighted, and owned by a collector named Josh Alpert. I do think that it could help you.

For the record, I agree with the other posters. I would like to see better pictures if they are available, but I have some serious doubts with what I am seeing color wise.
