Mantle Shot Four Times

http://www.ebay.com/itm/mickey-mantle-1952-topps-rc-found-4-holes-rounded-corners-and-creases-/120804187329?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item1c207d9cc1

Im new here i hope i am allowed to link it like this. Four perfectly round holes, seems like a hole punch. Was the owner a Dodger fan? I just dont get it.
WHY?

    i thought of that but they look to perfect for a bb gun or a .22 for that matter. thats what lead me to think of a hole punch

    I wonder if they are even real or not. Good way to get rid of reprints by beating the hell out of them and making them seem like they are worthless. People will still overpay for them thinking they are originals even in this poor of condition.

    Also like how on the 1952 RC he finally listed it is actually a 1953 but the title is still wrong, you would think a seller would kill the auction and relist with the correct title for people to search for it.

    probably get more views calling it a 52.

    Not to mention the silly buyers that think they found gold with a wrong titled card and that it wouldn't go for as much because the title is wrong

    You're asking for a lot there. The seller doesn't even want to be bothered with using capital letters or punctuation. image

    They looked raised to me, like little thumbtacks. Especially the bottom one and the one by his ear. Might the white things be covering the holes? Or, if they're really thumbtacks, might the holes be tackholes? Maybe the card isn't as bad as it appears.
