Authentic Mickey Mantle?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Just purchased this card for fairly cheap. Was wondering if I got extremely lucky or just purchased another reprint. Don't have the card in hand but to me it looks decent. Thoughts?

Oh wow...that's pretty bad. Hopefully you didn't pay too much for a $5 card.

Welcome to Net54. Seller with those authentication stickers is a well-known ebay scammer.

An authentic reprint for sure!

I don't think it would even be possible to get "extremely lucky" with a 52T Mantle these days, would it?

I've seen his cards on Ebay. I figured that label was a scam. I'm betting an original 52 Mantle will never be found fairly cheap on Ebay. Heck, some of the reprints aren't even cheap. :) I'm amazed at what some of the obvious reprints go for on there. The auctions with the found at an estate sale, have no knowledge but selling as a reprint kind of description.

Return the card as soon as you receive it, and get your $50.00 back. If it seems too good to be true...

Being 'extremely lucky' with that card (if it was real) on eBay would be only paying $20k for it.

Haha, if legit that would be a deal at $100,000.

That card is why I for one won't even attempt to collect 52 Topps. When a cardboard, easily faked if you do it right I might add, baseball card sells for more than what my house is worth (in the good part of Fort Myers, and with a heated pool), then I fold. I am not one of the beautiful people.

Is it not a requirement now from Ebay that all 52 Topps Mickey Mantles must be graded in order for a person to sell them?

Maybe I was dreaming but I thought I read that somewhere? I also believe a few more cards were listed as well. :confused:
