'52 Mantle help
hello, I am new here, I just picked up some mantle cards at auction. I know there are plenty of counterfeits and I am planning on sending this card in to PSA but wanted your opinion. It has all the signs of being legit except no missing blue pixel
Thank you https://app.box.com/s/god4wdejjhyjqk78r3eijkrdd7f6zw0y https://app.box.com/s/piheablth30s53dspgx70sc1x4yapvoa Last edited by Kiddk1; 09-17-2018 at 06:35 AM. |

Interesting....but if there is no missing pixel it's a fake.

Thank you, the reason I asked is because there is no mention here when addressing the variations

There used to be a comprehensive guide online but it has disappeared. Variation B definitely has a missing pixel.

Top left corner looks artificially aged.

Yankee
Hope for your sake it is real, but at first blush it looks like it might be a reproduction. Just look at the differences in the Yankee logos:

Probably a counterfeit. Use your light source on some other gray stock 52T and compare. Authentic 52Ts are opaque when using a bright white light so no front image is seen from the back - I'd expect the same with black but have never tested.

It does not have the missing pixel. Game set match IMO for a variation B.

If you can see thru the card it's fake.

I love that we call it a missing pixel even though it was printed in a time when pixels, as we mean them today, didn't exist.
I'm surprised there are so many here who think it's a good fake (at least nobody thinks it's real) the fuzziness on the front especially of the lettering and tooling screams reproduction image, to me anyway.
