Default This 1953 Topps Mantle Looks Legit, right?

I've been involved in a very strange trade, but I just received his end of it. I haven't sent my end yet. In-hand is the first time I'm seeing his card because he said he doesn't know how to email/text pictures (he sounds very old on the phone).

This card looks legit to me, though, so I think I'm good to go to send my end of the trade. What do you guys think?

I know there is much criticism of TPGs these days, and rightfully so, but do you think the card is a fake?

No, it looks really good to me.

I'm mostly weirded out by how trusting the other party to this trade has been. I'm trustworthy enough to receive this card on faith, but most people are not. He didn't even use signature confirmation sending it to me. I keep looking for the catch.

You have it hand; can you spot any frosting on the edges or glue from a reseal? Card looks amazing in condition, but if you send to PSA it may get a (MC) qualifier because of the top on the back.

The case looks good/clear. I put some pressure on it and didn't hear any cracking.

I don't plan to try and cross it to PSA. I think the SGC grade is as good as it can get and the eye appeal is great.

The eye appeal is great. Looks like you’ve encountered a decent person willing to make a deal. I know it’s tough not to be cynical these days, but try your best to enjoy it!
