    Is there a way to tell like in the Jordans?
    If real we're talking BIG bucks....

    Incredible card, if it is real image Looks too perfect to be real almost.

    Here's a link on how to spot fakes: http://home.comcast.net/~52mantle/52toppsmantlefake.htm

    Where are the real experts?

    Appears as though the case has been popped. The bottom corners of the holder are no longer clear, nor is the bottom edge. Don't look at the card look at the holder. Original card was removed and replaced. I had a 60 Mantle AS that I purchased from Ebay years ago that was switched before it shipped and I got hung with it. My guess is that it was replaced by a reproduction. The lower portion of the card does not look right, especially the box around Mantles name.

    This is one reason I don't use PSA any longer. Their slabs are easier to open than Beckett's.

    I have many many cards that have cases that look like that. They are 100% authentic.
    look for the 'frosting' along the edges as well as the corners.
    I agree Beckett are much nicer and secure.
