The other reason it most likely has not been faked is the standard catalog description of the set. I am paraphrasing, but it basically says the cards have muddy images and are generally ignored by all but the most ardent superstar/player collectors.

There are actually fakes of the Yaz and Mantle out there. Some guy on ebay now is selling a complete set but with fabricated copies of each of those.

I have always wanted a Mantle for my set but have always felt like it was too risky purchasing one.
