Here is some more grist for the mill.

The '64 Topps Mantle on the right was sold on eBay by Legacy Sports Rarities in January 2008, and the one on the left was listed by 'mnmiracle2004' on eBay last month. When I sent 'mnmiracle2004' the scan from the earlier Legacy auction, and asked him to explain why he apparently had a different card with the same cert #, he replied that he only sells authentic cards, he got his graded by and received it directly from PSA, someone must have tampered with the other card, PSA must have made a mistake, etc., and then pulled the auction.



Here's another pair of '64 Mantle cards with the same cert #. The one on the left was sold on eBay by 'mintxpress' in October 2007, and the one on the right by 'vintagerookies' last Saturday. I never challenged 'vintagerookies' on this one, but it is pretty clear they are not the same card, and the flips are different as well.
