Questions about a couple of Mickey Mantle cards

My knowledge of vintage is lacking to say the least. Does this card look legit? Some of the ones that I've seen on eBay seem "whiter" If it is, is it worth subbing? Any opinions on what it would grade out?

-1962 Post Canadian #5 Mickey Mantle

Does anyone have any idea what year this is? Beckett lists a "Rawlings" for 1961 and 1964-66. The ones that I've seen on eBay don't list a date. Is it legit? I guess if they aren't legit I'm not out much. I paid $28.00 for the pair. I've wasted money on much worse!

    The Post card should be given a "authentic" grade since the black border is gone. It also looks like a little water damage. Don't know about the Mantle item.

    I agree with what Doug said.

    I never saw the Rawlings before.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    The other thing is a 1950s glove tag. A few have sold on ebay recently for $20-$60.

    The glove tag is 100% fake. It's a photo/laser copy of a larger display piece shrunk down to a fake glove tag. Based on your picture the Post Canadian is a fake too. Look at both cards under magnification and you'll see scan lines or dots from modern photocopying.

    If that's the case, that sucks. I'll have to see if anyone I know has a loop. I appreciate the info.

    Thanks
