1952-69 Mantle run with PSA 5 52T on ebay

Wow, right?

But...

Compare the 52T (first picture) with the 52T of the same cert. number sold back in 2008 in Goodwin (second picture).

Draw your own, as the saying goes.

Is that a reholder?


or is that just a fake card and holder?

Wowsee is right.

The cards are completely different they aren't even the same variation.

Will the real Mickey Mantle please stand up!

Not sure if Kitty Calisle would be able to guess this one.

Anyone who can't tell should not be buying a 52T Mantle. :D

But here's a good resource.

The type "Type 2" seemingly has an overlapping, strike through the top left black border around the card. Usually more prominent in the Type A. Also, the font on the PSA holder where the #311 is, and the bar codes are off.

Me thinks it's Fakey Mantle. Steven Serge usually sells cars and came out of nowhere to sell his Mantle collection, so perhaps the poor guy got beat like a red headed stepchild?

The barcodes are even different. Too hot to handle.

Mexican Mantle, yay. Note the barcodes aren't even remotely similar.

not a fan of the 1951 Bowman either.

Stay tuned.

I was going to say the same thing. No way that one is real either.

Ebay 51 followed by a different one with same cert. The second one is Mile High March 2009.

i thought the 51 looked bad. the bottom line looked humpy or wavy. And the black box looked smudgey dark-like
With these ALL PSA---would this person be on the registry??

Looks like Mr. Serge might have traded a couple of custom cars, for a couple of custom cards.

In my younger days I would have told the ebay seller, ebay, and Joe Orlando. Now I'm too jaded to bother.:eek:

The barcodes on the flip don't match either.

Not bad of collection of cars-- check them out www.SergesAutoSales.com

Nice Work, Peter
 

A simple thank you for your efforts and diligence. I salute you. Peace and best of health.

Not sure I remember seeing a seller with 0% positive feedback, yet a feedback number over 100

I'm just the mouthpiece here, others alerted me to this.

Thank you Peter, reported for fraud.
How much is a Mantle run reprint set going for nowadays?

Anybody with no transactions over the past 12 months will show up at 0%.

Both his business's Facebook page and his Ebay page appears to have been very inactive for several years.

Assuming these are fakes, which seems at worst extremely likely, why put a six figure reserve on the auction?

Maybe Mr. Serge (or whoever hijacked his account), got bamboozled himself, and doesn't know they are fakes. Maybe he found out later they are fakes, auction houses didn't want to touch them and he's trying to cut his losses.

Who knows right now?


One things for sure. He really wants to do this mostly off site, whoever is selling this "collection".

Don't think you are allowed to dictate terms of payment like that on ebay.

Low-hanging fruit is often the most bland.

Looks like it is not listed
 

Looks like no longer on eBay.

So you can shill bid it up and not be responsible if you end up the high bidder?

The link still shows an active auction for me.

Yes still active

The odds that ebay does anything about it are .. well … low I would say.

As always, thanks Peter.

Clearly the cards are different and one set of flips (the ones on eBay) are apparently fake. However, are the cards fake? I don’t know those sets well enough to really tell. But that bottom border on the 51 mantle is atrocious.

The 52T does not have the telltale missing pixel at the lower left corner of the black border. That and the color looks washed out.

51 is not even a good fake

Yeah, not only are the barcodes different on the flips, but the printing on the flips is different. On the '52, the grade "Ex 5" takes up two lines where on the Goodwin, it is on one line.

Fake cards, fake flips. I would not be surprised if some of the others have problems also.

The 62 Topps HR leaders PSA 7 looks OK:D:D

This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing.
