So you think it is legit then? There appears to be very little reprints/fakes from the research I did.

I would stay away. There is no reason to buy a 57 Mantle from a guy you don't know yet met on facebook, especially when the guy sends you a picture of it in front of a sketchy knife. The card might be legit but I wouldn't risk it. There are too many red flags--no scan, won't meet you, too good of a price, etc.

Thanks for your opinion! I wish there was something from the pics that gave off a red flag about the card itself. There is nothing I can see that sets if off from others I have seen online.

Mantle 57
It is true this card can be easily found in various conditions, and while I generally agree with Robert and Chris ( hence my first post comment), if it is legit, and there is nothing wrong with the card not showing up in the pictures he has sent, you are not likely to get one that nice at anything close to that price. Tough call, but I would not want to buy it until I held it in hand, and making a distant house call to a guy who takes a "sales" picture with a knife in it would give me pause

Thanks for the input guys. I have definitely decided to not make the drive all the way to his house. Does paypal cover a transaction like this if it ends up not being real?

^^ do not use paypal gift.
Most of here use a scanner these days, to post pics. I know some cant, but c'mon, better pics hold this back. Please, take a buddy or two (smith & wesson) with you if you decide to go forward

It is an odd thing to leave in the pic, but obviously they either don't know how or can't be bothered to crop the pics to show just the card. Also something my parents don't know how to do. Steve B |

That might be a good idea. She's a pretty tough negotiator.
The last flea market I did a few years back she sold a lot of cards. Apparently when I left to look around the card guys came over to get "deals" from the little old lady. "Oh, I don't know, my son might get mad if I took that little for them." Of course I'd told her about how little I'd let them go for and she ended up getting well above that. Pretty good at selling car parts too..... "I'm calling about the th350, " "Oh, that must be the pointy metal thing my son left under the porch" "I'll be right over" I'd tried selling it for a couple years, one ad and she had it gone.

^ Ha ha this just made my night! ... Not only did the copyright color give off a red flag but it also appears to be trimmed. Not worth the hassle of having to probably fight with paypal over getting my $150 back. Thanks guys.

I would love to see someone use your picture for an eBay auction.

None of my '57s have the Topps' copyright in black on the back right-hand edge. They all are in the same dark blue as the stats. I'd pass...

That's a good catch methinks.
Plus that card is very hard to find centered. |
