    One sign, among others, is the inconsistent wear on a card. Fakers often go too far with making a card looked aged or worn. That bottom left corner is not "worn" in the same way as the others, it was cut either with scissors or a razor. That blue/green/aqua background should be darker, it is much too light.

    Agree with phelda on the inconsistent wear. Also the near perfect centering is always an alarm for me. There are so few Mantles with that good of centering that most raw examples are fake just based on that.

    Both bottom corners look cut to me. Got a scan of the back?
