It's unsettling that this example covers every basis for a real type 1 Mantle (as far as the many usual subtle details to look for), but many of us still can't believe that it's real.
I was always going to buy a graded one anyway when the time comes, but it'd still be very helpful to diagnose fakes with more accuracy. And for the other '52 Topps too, where the possibility of other fakes will have to be worked around on a regular basis
