can it be real

addicted2ebay · February 12, 2019 1:20PM

Yikes... it’s definitely a fake.

akuracy503 · February 12, 2019 1:29PM

I’ve never seen a vintage card stock worn out that way.

LarkinCollector · February 12, 2019 1:33PM

Before I even saw the pics, if you have to ask, the answer is always "no".

GreenSneakers · February 12, 2019 1:35PM

Have you ever heard of EGS?
Did EGS show up in a google search?
Have you ever seen any other card age or wear like that?
Is this the most faked card out there? (I'm not sure but would bet it is)

I wouldnt give you a $1 for it

Reminds me of a local hobby shop owner who pulled out a raw T206 Eddie Plank from his safe and told me grading companies don’t know what they are doing because his authentic plank wouldn’t make the grade.

You could do the same and play pretend it’s real. Enjoy the piece for what it is.

i thought so but wanted to ask the experts

akuracy503 · February 12, 2019 2:44PM

None of us are experts. Only PSA can judge.

That's not true EGS can also

It looks like someone drew it with crayons.

MantleFan23 · February 13, 2019 7:38PM

Definitely a crossover candidate with PSA! Good luck!

dan89 · February 13, 2019 8:05PM

Sorry, 51 Bowman is Mantel’s rookie...

Look at the cert #, then look at the OP's pic and this Ebay card.

akuracy503 · February 14, 2019 2:35AM

I definitely prefer the OP’s card better. Better eye appeal. Would most certainly get a PQ stamp if it were brokered by PWCC.

Are people really this desperate to own that card? Amazes me with all the counterfeit efforts out there.

Then you would like his next creation. He’s a regular assembly line.

Straight out of the printer and into the ole' bicycle spokes for a bit, then maybe a dose of coffee grounds and double check that the corners are rounded just right, print out a BS TPG company flip and good to go!

KingBen · February 15, 2019 2:04PM

Cardboard is cardboard... who is to say its fake. Just as good as the "real" cardboard. You really never know whats "real" and whats "fake,"

addicted2ebay · February 15, 2019 2:40PM

Real 52 Mantles do get listed cheap on eBay. In my 10 years on eBay I’ve found only two.

They are NEVER listed as unknown or in a bs basement slab. They also never have a story about being found in a attack. That’s for suckers.

It’s usually people who inherit a collection and don’t do the research.

No t206 wags tho... still waiting on that one 😉

is this Micky Mantel rookie real?
