Telling the difference between an authentic vs replica
So a bit of a back story, my sister knows how much of an avid hobbyist I am when it comes to sports cards. Her and her husband came by to visit and surprised me with a gift of a 51’ Bowman Mantle and 52’ Topps Mantle as well. Now automatically I knew my little sister has not hit the lotto, nor does her husband invest in NFTs or what not, so instantly I assumed replica. Now I thanked them for the generous gift and after they left, I began my intense research on the 52’ primarily.
My research led me to believe the card Ashley got me is a type 2 variant of the Mantle and after watching various YouTube videos on fake mantles and searching the internet, I went down the “what to look for” and everything checks out! My last resort was to hope someone who owns or is a Subject expert can assist in what it is I can do to solidify my suspicion that these cards are in fact replicas and I can just hang them up as collector’s pieces Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
