This would be the variation B of the '52 Mantle. I have my doubts as to it's authenticity.
For one, the top horizontal black border is supposed to extend beyond the vertical borders on both sides, and it does not appear to do that on the left side.
Other forum members will be able to comment as to the paper stock that this card is printed on, but I would be wary.
