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!

Chuck, I have to agree about the coloring.

This card is a type A, and the hue and saturation are way off, in my opinion.
