Two very nice items Ben. You know, with hurricane season brewing up, you may want to send those to a safer locale ... like Austin. We don't get hurricanes here.

Hello All,

I was offered this 1956 Mantle and it looks authentic to me but i have nowhere near the experience and knowledge on Mantle cards as many of you on these discussion boards. I would appreciate all valued input on its authenticity? Thank you.

Can you provide a clearer picture without the screw down?

I’d stay away.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your input.
Is there something specific that you see on the card that raises a red flag?

The coloring looks off. It may just be the bad quality of the photos, but, the poor quality of photos is a red flag itself.
