Default 1951 Bowman Mantle. Thoughts requested.
Posting for a non-collector friend. His Mother in law inherited this card from an old boyfriend approximately 20-25 years ago. I'm more of a Dead Ball Era collector so looking for thoughts on this card from those who collect 50's era. He's not looking to sell, but would like to know value for future potential. Must say, in hand it feels legit. Anyone see any red flags or venture a guess on a slab grade? Appreciate the help as always.

That's a fake 1951 Mantle, albeit a nicely centered one.

Color is off, paper is off and the print quality makes it able to be flagged as a copy in seconds. Look at the typeface clarity of the other one posted for comparison, it will be very easy to notice.

This card screams fake. I not know many people that inherit cards from ex boyfriends (thats a red flag already). It would be too good to be true to inherit a real RC mantle to boot.

You can always send it in to get a ? Authentication slab grade which can get 100 bucks .

I need to go look at my card--you've made me question the legitimacy of it even though it's graded.

Sunburned Mick.....Another give away is when Mick's face looks like the new "Extra Crispy Colonel" in KFC commercials. The skin shading and skin tone on many fakes is not just off a bit, it is waaaaay crispy.....
