1957 Topps Mickey Mantle #95 fake/reprint?

Welcome aboard.

All of his cards, including this one, have been reprinted by Topps but there are notations on the fronts or backs to make that clear. His 52 and 53 cards have certainly been counterfeited. Not sure about 57 and I think a bigger and better scan would be needed to be sure without the card in hand. If it is legit and the scan is accurate as to condition, it would be a great deal. Are you in a position to eyeball the card in person ?

I am waiting for a response from him asking about better scans/pics or if we could meet. He is 2 hours away.

Good luck in your quest. I have heard rumors that the card can be found with the ghost man in the back almost completely airbrushed out, but have never seen such and would be real wary if I did. If that guy was not in the picture it would be one of my favorite Mantles

Still waiting ... from that scan I can see the ghost ... but that guarantees nothing. Thanks again. I will post as soon as he responds.

This is what he sent back: ... And he says he cannot meet me because he is on disability and cannot drive but I could go all the way to his house ...
