let's see, we've got a card that has way too much red color in Mickey's face, borders that look way too thin, creasing that looks contrived, a surface with virtually no snow or scuff marks (but a LOT of creasing), and the corners are abnormally nice (ie. not consistent with the creasing).
Add in to all that, why in the hell would anyone frame a graded '52 Topps Mantle along with a cheap auto'ed card? It's all beyond me. (this doesn't even mention the irate, overly-defensive seller that bought it from a "prestigious, well known auction").
Why does this hobby have to suck so much?

p.s. nice detective work, Jeff!
