Is this 52 Mantle authentic?
Either someone is out a lot of cash or someone got a hell of a deal...

This would be the variation B of the '52 Mantle. I have my doubts as to it's authenticity.
For one, the top horizontal black border is supposed to extend beyond the vertical borders on both sides, and it does not appear to do that on the left side. Other forum members will be able to comment as to the paper stock that this card is printed on, but I would be wary.

I thought it was bad due to a few 'missing ink' spots, I really need to learn how to tell card stock based on photos though.
Edit* Also, the S in "dimaggio's" is too far to the right (I believe) can anyone else verify that? Last edited by Sean1125; 03-13-2013 at 07:23 AM.

I would be wary too. There are no returns, and shipping " varies ". Maybe sent via FedEx, or an envelope with a stamp. This is a rough card, and for twice as much I could get a better looking card, and graded. At 2k, this card is not a great deal for me. If I could not come up with ( or save ) 4 - 5k for a 52 Mantle, I'm content with not owning the card. Personally, it's too hard to tell from the images about the cardboard and authenticity. I would have to have a lot of communication from the seller to feel comfortable with this one, since all they sell is childrens clothes.

As far as this card goes, it looks a little funny to me. I wouldn't have touched it.

Buyer had a couple thousand transactions, so perhaps knowledgeable about cards to some extent. Apparently, it was listed with a start bid of $400 and BIN $2000, and the guy jumped on it eight minutes after it appeared. As beat up as it is, it might be genuine - hard to really tell from a scan.
