It's not a counterfeit but from a legitimate boxed set that Topps released in 1983. It was produced by the company and is so indicated on the flip.

No it’s not. The 1983 reprint set has a Mantle but it doesn’t look like that one. The one above is the well documented counterfeit that PSA delisted scores of…..

If you buy your cards from a site called piclick.com, you probably have a rough road ahead. Just my 2 cents.

How so? It’s a search engine for ebay. You click the link and it takes you to the ebay listing. It allows you to see front and back from the search page too.

So it's a fake of a popular reprint. What a hobby.

Even if it was a real reprint, I'm surprised at the listed price of $4800. Do other high grade reprints sell for anywhere close to that? I did a quick search on eBay for a T206 Wagner reprint and found a PSA 10 listed for $375. Why would someone pay $4800 for a 1952 Topps Mantle reprint?

HA.

Hope springs eternal. All it takes is one moron who clicks on the BIN button. My father in law talks about creating a $1M hamburger, because he'd only have to sell one.
