Bogus 52 Mantle?

[Cardboard Junkie]

Wow that's a tuff call from a scan.....I don't know Frank..I owned a dozen or so 52T 311's type 1 and 2 and I don't think I have ever seen Yankee's printed on the logo that sharp also the black outline of the logo looks razor sharp. You probably would know better than me, but thats one I'd like to see in person. Everything else seems good about it. Dave. (Hi, FKW keep dry and happy holidays).

if this is a fake it's a new kid on the block....that bat in the yankee logo aint right....that white in the bat doesnt appear on any other 52 t mantle i can find. hmmmmmm very very dubious. dave

I think it's a poor quality scan or photo. He may have fooled around with the image too much (resize, fix colors or such)

No way the card is real. The font in the PSA flip is wrong. This fake card is sitting in a frankenslab.

There you go again Keith, "clouding" the issue with facts

Interesting, I did not catch that. I ran the number and it matched up...of course someone could've just lifted it from another auction.

What are the diagnostics for PSA fonts?

Also, I've requested a high res scan from the seller. He said he'd get one to me, but haven't heard from him yet...in a few more days if I haven't heard anything I'll notify the seller and/or ebay...

Also, the right side of the holder looks frosted, as if it were cracked open (especially visible from the back scan).

When I first looked at it it didn't pass my "stomach" test. In other words.....it upset my stomach as something didn't look right. Good catch guys. To me it was the off color of the white borders that looks screwed up. I am not an expert on '52 Topps but have obviously seen many thousands of them.
