Mantle card - reproduction?

A friend bought this the other day. The condition is so nice I immediately thought fake or reproduction. Thoughts?

Gotta be a reproduction. If it isn't, then your friend is going to be a lot more wealthy.

That is what I was saying.

I hope he didn't pay much.

I'm no expert, but if that is real then it would probably grade a gem mint 10. There are only 2 or 3 gem mint 10s in existence of that card. If it is real, then its worth millions. I doubt its real.

Like I said, I am no expert though.

He bought it assuming fake FYI.

I hope it turns out to be real, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Zero hopes. I was 99.99% it wasn’t the real deal but for kicks asked for opinions. This guy has incredible luck but this would be amazing if it was real.

I believe that’s a 1983 Topps reprint of the 1952 Mantle.

Card is fake.
