Clearly a reprint, or a forgery. Finally, look at the seller. No history of selling sports cards, or anything of value. Suddenly they're selling a pristine '52 Mantle?

Are people really this reckless with their money? The old saying "a fool and his money are soon parted" comes to mind.
There are lots of folks that have the ability to earn more money than they need but have not the wherewithal to spend it wisely.
