Probably one of the worst examples I've ever seen if it is real. What do you experts say?

Be good my brothers.
<< <i>For the '52 Mantles, if you are trying to sell this card, does eBay automatically prompt you to make sure this card is either an original or reprint? It just seems that all of these scammers mention this 'reprint' thing in their description. They're almost like, 'well I have to state reprint, even though I know it's an original Mantle'... >>
Ya know...
They say this but I think it's a smoke screen to "trap" people and is in violation of the "authenticity" clause and if reported, they may make him edit or shut it down.
You have to make an attempt to authenticate the item or just plain come and and say - this is a reprint - and then if the reprint is not authorized, you can then report it as a forgery/counterfeit IMO.
Either way, these guys are just plain tiresome!

so many problems ... where to start...
1) 0 rating
2) stolen pic
3) acts naive, but yet mentions grading
4) "lowers" reserve to 3K, but has a NR auction
what a mess...

<< <i>I am going to provide two cards you can also show your friends. I included some kind of reprints of 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle and 1954 Bowman Ted Williams. I received my first negative ever because of these two cards (retaleation of the seller). I paid over a thousand dollars for them. No, they are not real and I don’t want you to think that they are. I am throwing these two cards in just for fun. My finance wanted me to keep them to show others, however I am tired of looking at the fakes I paid way to much for. I will mention all other cards throughout this lot are authentic. >>
where this turkey bought the mantle
link to fake Williams auction that he bought and the seller clearly states it to be fake...see bottom of auction below
link to fake Mantle/Williams that this clown is selling as real
thats the auction, i took it to 2 high end collectors and i showed them the auction also and they compaired it to the mantle rookie they have and they said i should get it graded

Im not sure who is more stupid here the seller or the buyer who thinks that she is going to get an 18k GOLD necklace and matching bracelot for 20.00 with GOLD AT 550.00!!

"i did win it true but do you always take some ones elses word if somthing is fake? or do you find out for yourself! a smart person would find out as i did. im not trying to sound rude but always findout for your self "

Perhaps this should be a stand-alone thread and bumped as more fakes are discovered.
It only takes a second to report.
