Andrew,
I don't have enough experience with the 1952 Topps Mantle to weigh in on its authenticity. Having said this, I will offer you an opinion regarding eBay, where I have sold numerous things across the span of 10+ years.
If it was my item (and it's not - this is just an opinion) I would consider ending the auction and re-listing it with the correct card number in the title.
I would also then be prepared to answer any and all questions that came down the pike from prospective bidders...whether they present their question directly through eBay or on a forum such as this.
Additionally, I would treat all such queries seriously, and put my best customer service foot forward. After all, we are discussing a sale in the thousands of dollars. This may not be a big deal to some; however, it would be a high priority endeavor for me.
Please forgive me if this rubs you the wrong way. I truly am just trying to add value to the conversation here.
Best Regards,
Eric
