FAKE '52 Mantle on Ebay
Read his lovely story in the description and the 2 rating should be enough to know this is fake, then if you go to his history he bought long ago from ebay seller Rawoysterman who was notorious for selling reprints/fakes.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=180570046339 I've reported this listing to Ebay. Enjoy the sellers description while it is up. |

Well, at least he listed it as a possible reprint.

He actually sold 1 on Monday, I feel for the buyer, there goes 1200, unless he sees this or is wise.

Doug.....lessons....
That is what is called a $1500 learning lesson. It doesn't take too many of those to learn either......

There are actual "finds" out there, but what are the odd of a legit T206 Wagner or 1952 Topps Mantle slipping through the cracks on eBay? IMO it's about as likely as the guy listing a lottery ticket from a week ago and claiming it might be a winner because he didn't check the numbers. I know "a fool and his money are soon parted", but I'm starting to wonder how anyone dumb enough to buy one of those cards got that much extra money to begin with...

Also....look at the feedback he's left for others. He sold 2 more '52 Mantles in August. He seems to have an endless supply. I've contacted those buyers. I'll let you know if they respond to me. Both look like avid collectors, would love to hear if they tried to have them graded. I'll report back.

I'm pretty sure those lessons are what Dave Ramsey refers to as "stupid tax".

Yeah, not sure he's technically doing anything wrong....

He's lying. He knows it. How many people do u know unload 3 '52 Mantles in one week. If he gets these 3 graded, he probably adds 20+grand to his profit margin. So he is either the stupidest person on the planet or a fraud. And Rawowsterman had the best fakes around. Put 2 & 2 together.

Hopefully someday eBay will actually quit letting people list these cards with this "It's not graded, so I have to call it a possible reprint even though I've owned it for 30 years" crap. The people that are stupid enough to bid a few hundred bucks on these things don't help the cause either.
