Well, besides the fact that it's raw, it's on Mercari, and it's likely being offered for a low price, the first thing that sticks out to me is the reddish hue on the card, making it almost look like Mantle has a sunburn. If you look at enough legit '56 Topps Mantles you will get a sense of the proper color. That red tint on the card is a big clue to it being fake.
