Though to be fair, at least he's saying it could be a reprint. Of course it IS a reprint, and he surely knows it, so he's being misleading in that equivocation, but he's not wholly representing it as legit.
And really, I have less problem with this, because ANYONE who buys a '52 Mantle in this way, raw, uncertified, and without the chance to examine it up close, quite frankly deserves to lose their money. Because anyone who buys a raw '52 Mantle on ebay is an idiot.
The real serious problem now is cracked holders with bogus cards and legit IDs. Because some dealers and buyers alike are so blinded by the security of TPGs that they don't bother to examine the card. The fakes I've seen aren't even particularly good, but that doesn't stop them from selling.
