Need Authentication Help - ‘53 Mantle

Posts: 11 ✭
Hi, I am looking for some expert opinions on the authenticity of this ‘53 Mantle. I have already purchased the card based on my on evaluation, but would like other opinions. Is there anything I should be looking for when it arrives? I should note that I adjusted the purchase price to assume that it has been trimmed or otherwise altered (hope I am wrong), but authentic. Another note: the card is in a penny sleeve. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

big no
I think not authentic
What do you see that makes you think it is not authentic?
Color wear image. All look off
What did you pay and from where?
$800 from a friend of a friend. Not worried about losing $ as returning it will be easy. He will take it back if I can’t authenticate it.
Best start now. Card is no good.
I wouldn’t expect the corner crease to show white like it does on the back.
Definitely fake. Bright white card stock underneath wear is a dead giveaway.
The back looks good to me, but the front looks bad. Color looks way off, and white as mentioned by others. Edge chipping/corner wear on the back looks natural to me, which is what is giving me pause.
