1961 Topps Mickey Mantle
New member and first time poster. I've recently gotten back into collecting and have started to put together a decent collection. Next item I've got my eyes on is a 1961 Topps Mickey Mantle #300. Only problem is, I'm reading that Topps made some reprints of the 1961 series that look identical with no clear reprint markings. I've found reprints listed on ebay and they look authentic (at least to my untrained eye). Does anyone have tips on identifying an original 1961 Topps Mantle? Any help is appreciated!

I wouldn't doubt at all that there are counterfeit 1961 Topps cards that have been printed in the last twenty years that are intended to be used for nefarious reasons but they certainly weren't printed by Topps.

If you run across any that you're thinking of buying, definitely post pictures here, front and back, and members will undoubtedly help you out in determining whether or not they are legitimate.

Just the perfect, snow white front borders and edges make the alarm bells go off. It looks like one of the special Mantles put out by Topps in 1995 or 1996, and not something from almost 60 years ago.
