Is this 52 Mantle good?

Aren't 52T Mantles on the list of cards that are not supposed to listed on eBay unless they have been graded? There is a reason a card that expensive would be listed on eBay without being graded. That reason is almost always because the card is not real. A 1952 Topps Mantle seems like way too expensive a card to gamble on buying raw off eBay.

With all the fakes in slabs, that isn't so helpful either.

I realize there are fake cards in slabs. But a raw card that expensive/iconic should set off sirens as to its authenticity. How many real 52T Mantles are on eBay raw compared to the number of raw reprints of that card?
