Another fake or real or trimmed ?

I am thinking of buying this card. Please give me your input as to real or fake or trimmed. Thanks.

Looks good to me, from the front. Too off-centered to be trimmed for grade purposes, IMO. What's the back look like?

Here is the back and thanks for the input...

Card looks real
 
Can't comment as to possible alteration out of hand.

Yep, real card. I think the slope at the top is factory miscut, rather than trimmed.

Thank you!
 
I appreciate the input.

Looks real from afar. I have one very similar to it.

And while we're on the subject, I think this is the best Mickey Mantle card of them all. Just a beautiful card, and just my opinion.

It is definitely one of my favorite Mantle's and I did end up buying it.

Unfortunately, I sold all of my Mantle's back in 2013 and I am regretting it. This is my first card of Mickey that I bought since I recently started collecting again.

It hope it passes grading for you....or you keeping it raw?

SPMIDD 12-30-2020 02:26 PM

I pretty much just collect raw stuff. I have had only one card in my life graded and that was at the national quite a few years ago.

The 60 Mantle is indeed a very nice and underrated card. Layout and alternating colors present well.

When I got the B o k s R b n o n, it took me while to figure out it was Brooks Robinson and I didn't have a cocktail yet....
