From the scan it looks more fake than a 3 dollar bill.

The seller informed me that there were no cracks in the holder and that he'd post a picture against a dark background so I could tell. The coloring definitely looks off and I am not certain about the corner wear on this one....

looks like a bad, bad fake!

It's just the filter guys look at some of the other cards he has for sale .

Just because the other cards look okay doesn't mean this one is.

The initial pic of a holdered card against a white back ground is always a warning sign. Also noted they had quite a few vintage card sales recently....so wondered what the story was.....

Not saying that at all . What I'm saying is he used a filter on the pics to hide blemishes and improve the color pop on the cards he has listed .

Fair enough. I didn't notice much in the way of colors on the other Mantles, which is why I was questioning you. The corners still raise some red flags for me.
