He claims he is not an expert on cards, however, he bought this card from a reputable dealer. My questions are: 1) if he isn't an expert on cards, how does he know that the dealer was reputable, 2) who would purchase a high value item from a "reputable dealer" without having some background knowledge.

Now, I'm no expert on cards (just fireman tintypes ), but this one stinks. Plus it looks horrible.

if one were to buy either of those mantles i would think they were crazy. they may be real but why would you spend that kinda $$$ for ungraded cards over ebay.

I think the background on his seems a little TOO blue. Also, 99.1% positive may be below average.

I asked the seller 1) why his newer cards were graded by some unknown grading company (Capitol Grading) and 2) why his older, high value cards were not graded. I said it would seem to me to be worth the small expense of both time and money to get them authenticated and graded, especially for the starting bid amounts and this is what he responded with:

the mantle card, including the riveted holder looks exactly like a 1952 Mantle reprint I bought from an ebay dealer a few months ago. The guy had 10-15 of them up for auction.

I just pulled mine out and compared. the back is the same and the front is the same darker shade of blue.
