Default Is this 1953 Bowman Color Mantle legit?

Auction in question

This is being sold as an authentic 1953 Bowman Color Mickey Mantle. Admittedly, my experience with shopping for high value vintage cards is somewhat limited, but this has to be one of the most vibrant non-slabbed examples I've ever seen of this card. Is this is the real thing, it's going to go for a bundle.

I've looked back at the seller's history, and they've sold three graded Mantles, all back in 2012: two 1952 Bowman PSA 7's at $1855 and $1936, and a 1953 Topps PSA 4 for $700. So they have, at least in the past, dealt with Mantles from this era.

I'd like some feedback please. Red lights are flashing, yet looking at the scan zoomed in, I can't see anything that "outs" the card right away.
