Default 52 Mantle

A friend has an opportunity to purchase this Mantle.

Any thoughts? Does it look authentic?

Default Mantle

Very hard to tell from that scan. Here are two, both variations, that are legit...one a beater and one pretty nice. Compare yours to one on left which is the variation in your scan

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

http://home.comcast.net/~52mantle/52toppsmantlefake.htm

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.

His homepage:

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.
