1953 Topps Mantle - Fake, Real and/or Trimmed?

[Cardboard Junkie]

From the scan, it looks like the real deal to me, untrimmed. About a 1.5 or 2.5 because of the multiple wrinkles. nicely centered, no paper loss...looks like a nice card to me. Dave.

Hi David, thanks so much for the information...really appreciate it!

Not the best scan but from what I can see the wear looks legit. The centering is some of the best I've seen on the 53s.

Great, thanks so much guys...really appreciate it! I typically collect only 19th century but had this one on my wish list for quite some time.

Looks real...best you can hope for is a '1'. Had one just like it with less wrinkles....it got a '1', but I got a premium price because it didn't look like a '1'.

Yes, it has a lot of wrinkles and even though it would grade low it displays great overall! Thanks all for your help! Sorry about my cell phone pictures being worse than the originals posted above.
