I would highly recommend flipping through a few pages of PSA Authentic Mantle cards and checking the wear pattern. I have over 150 low grade mantles in my collection an after looking at several you really can get a sense of what wear occurs naturally. I have some beat up cards but can't recall ever seeing a real one with that color. That said, most of the "poor" fakes have nearly identical coloring.
I can't tell for the life of me whether most high grade cards are real or fake but fake "poor" cards pop out at you after a little experience.
