1963 topps mickey mantle
 

Was thinking of purchasing this mantle. Does this card look authentic or a reprint?Im just not sure and any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Hard to tell from the picture you posted but a common give away for a reprint is someone trying to age the cards by rounding the corners. The corners on the bottom look like they have been rounded on purpose which would tend to make me think it is a reprint.

Images are too small to tell. Post them on a photo sharing website and then link the full-size pictures using the photo button (mountain with yellow sky) and pasting in the link.

The l/r centering is off, most fakes have much better centering than this card.

As a rule of thumb, I don't buy anything in a screw down holder as I am always skeptical as to whether anything in one is real. I agree that the bottom corners look a little too purposeful. But, it's hard to tell from the tiny picture.
