Default Mantle 52 Topps

Hey guys, I found a Mantle 52 and I am not convinced that it isn't legit. Can you guys take a look and give me your honest feedback?

Thank you,

Sheldon

P.S. I tried to post a picture of the whole front of the card but the file failed to upload.

I have no opinion on the card, but do think you would be better off posting this on the card side rather than memorabilia side

Our system is a bit confusing sometimes and this was moved over to the correct section.

Why do you say that? I am curious as to what makes you think this.

Without seeing the entire card it is tough but it appears the card stock is bad. Grain looks incorrect on side views.

You are going to have a hard time getting reasons why people think it is a fake being a new guy here.

Most people, which I think is correct thinking, are hesitant to divulge this info as very little is known about you.

I also believe posting full view pics/scans of the front and back is necessary, not these snippets as they are inconclusive.

PM me and send me some pics and I'll try to post them if I can?

I have both variations of this card but to be honest I do not think you can get a definitive answer with these scans. If others can opine on it I defer to them

Right click on the card image you are trying to post and note the size of the file. This site can only manage images that are about 50-500 kb, so open your image in a photo editing program and reduce it to a size that is manageable before you attempt to upload it here.

I haven't received a PM, yet, but I have had decent luck resizing pics for some members once I receive them in an E-mail.

I am no computer expert but this is something I have had some success with and fully understand it can be difficult for some people/members based on what systems they use to upload their pics.
