Ouch. There are fakes, and really bad fakes. This one would be of the latter ilk.

The "Type 1" and "Type 2" articles only do so good determining fakes online.
The "missing pixel" is the equivalent of 100+ pixels on my home printer these days. Any of that stuff can be replicated without blinking an eye. Card stock is always the giveaway. Early 50s and lower series have ridges on the cardstock. It's the quickest and easiest way to determine for anyone new collecting vintage. These fakes are exceptionally bad and have "hazing" around the printing on the rear as well. These guys target people new to collecting vintage and don't have much experience holding the physicals. But it is pretty common people new to it will drop a lot of money on their first purchase, so there is always a barrel of fish.

The slab here is a dead giveaway too. I wouldn't buy a '52 Mantle that's not in a PSA or SGC slab.

Surprised no one mentioned how narrow the borders look.
A handful of other things haven't been checked either. It might be able to fill a whole bingo card of mistakes. M-I-C-K-Y across the top for bingo, since they probably misspelled his name too.
