Default '53 Topps Mantle real or fake

I had to pass on this card, the seller assured it is authentic but I had too many questions. It does have a rough cut that I have not seen in counterfeits so it has that going for it. The thing that throws up the red flag is the red across the top of the back. There are sides as if it was printed alone that make a visual rectangle. All the '53s I have that are even OC are edge to edge from screening the whole sheet. Any thoughts from experts?

I thought I had something but I see this site is also a victim to photobucket.

These pics may be of some help?

Good eye on the reverse, Larry.

Here's an uncut sheet that sold previously.

I see what the OP is talking about. There should be zero white to the right or left of the red banner at the top.

My first thoughts were fake as well as the card just looks a bit off to me for some reason on the front. It's a great story/description from the seller, of course, but with only a score of 18 on E-Bay, I don't think I would have went for it even if I could afford it and was in the market for one.
