There is a raw 1952 Mantle ending in 30 minutes on eBay. It’s at $2400. Guy says it belonged to his dad and he believes it is real. Looked at sellers past auctions and he has had psa cards. Thinking it’s a reprint scam. I messaged the guy yesterday to get some
Feedback from him and got no reply. I mean a psa 1 is worth $15k. So tempting......

    I haven't seen the card but can assure you with 99.9% certainty it's a reprint. Always fake when selling for someone else. Usually a story line with the provenance. All BS.

    Collecting PSA 9's from 1970-1977. Raw 9's from 72-77. Raw 10's from '78-'83.

    My thoughts exactly especially since the seller had sold psa cards before and it’s in a card saver lol. Fake

    The gentleman selling the card is either a crook or an idiot. More than likely , crook.

    If its real, I have some oceanfront land in California to sell.

    IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED

    A step up from oceanfront property in Arizona if it is in California...I am tempted!

    With buyer protection isn't a $4000 buy worth it. PSA express service - anything authentic or better is money in the bank. If not authentic then you get you money back. Looks like someone made at least 12K if PSA 1 - no loss if fake.

    I was uncertain About the protection....but if that’s the case it was worth it with little risk. Wow.

    I'm sure psa would be happy to have you throw away grading fees every time dad's raw 52 Mantle popped up on eBay.

    Yeah, doesn't it cost a brand new Hyundai to grade a '52 Mantle?

    I believe you can send in a Mantle at the Regular rate $18-20 and they will call you if it is real basically. Then you will indeed owe 800-1200.
