Looks good to me with the wax stain but I'd have to feel the card!

If it's a fake it's the best one I have ever seen. Of course if it is the best one I've ever seen that doesn't really help you out!

The uneven deckle edge cut is also a sign it may be legit along with the wax stains, nicely centered too.

It looks great to me. I would bank on it being real. The fact it is not graded concerns me only in that it may not have graded up to expectations. Looks like a nicely centered 3-4 to me.

I'm in agreement with others. That one actually looks real. I would get it graded as quick as possible once it is in hand though. I bought a Leaf Paige rookie that I thought was real. It wasn't. Not saying the Mantle isn't real - just protect yourself.

Not sure if it's good, but it doesn't look bad to me.

Looks good to me, but I have seen fake wax stains before. Borders do not look artificially aged, the layers of paper look correct, color & toning on the face & bat look correct. Corner wear seems legit.

Fantastic story! Can you post pics of it in its new home?? Always love hearing about collector's doing well with random finds. Too many collectors getting hosed and ripped off out there.
