I've done a lot of research on this card while I was in the hunt for one.

The boarders are way too white. That is my first clue. The second is how perfect the centering is. It's very difficult to find one that centered, along with such a white boarder. The third clue is how the back color looks too even. Original vintage backs age uneven with the back color.

Please keep in mind that my "clues" are just "red flags". It doesn't technically make the card fake. There is a possibility that card is a rare mint 1951 Bowman Mantle. Now you have to figure out if that gamble is worth the $4k?

I personally don't like to gamble with that much money. I'd rather spend the $4k on a decent looking PSA 2. That way, I would sleep better at night.

That is just my 2 cents. Good luck with your decision.
