1952 Topps Mickey Mantle: Input Appreciated
Net54 experts and detectives,
I am trying to help out a friend. Anyone able to tell whether or not this card is a) authentic and/or b) altered? Recognize no one can be 100% positive from these photos alone, but it's all that he has provided me. Appreciate any input / thoughts / perspectives. Thank you very much in advance! |

Very fake. Rounded corners are over embellished and stock looks off. My opinion

He didn't want the fact that it was in a CMR case to bias anyone's view as to whether it was real or fake. He clearly doesn't have any confidence in CMR. Does this change (or further confirm ) anyone's view? Thanks again and apologies for the twist. Should have noticed the holder beforehand. |

Fake- corners - dead giveaway... the counter fitters do even understand cards.
Hard to get that consistently rounded corners (on all the corners) and no creases. A card with a corner bit off by an iguana because it loved the taste of 70 year old paper would be easier to believe Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk |

There's better version of fake than this.
Chances are if you're buying 52 topps mantle, you have to PAY, you won't really get no deal out there |

Thanks for all of your input. Agree with everything. Based on the very helpful article below, the card clearly appears to be a fake Type 2 Mantle.

A superb resource IMO. This card has no "missing pixel" and is an atrocious fake.

Back is always a dead giveaway on this card, they can’t replicate 70yr old paper
Buy some cheap 52 topps originals and this will stick out like a sore thumb. |
