Of course it's been cracked out and into another holder, but here is a photo and a scan of the same card. In the scan, you can see the crease by the logo. When I bought the card, I did some research before the purchase to see if the card had been altered and I saw that same exact card and assumed it was the same?
I had a respected AH, associated with the sale of the card, tell me he made the flip...
What do think? Is it the same card?

Hi Chuck
I just returned home from my 3 days set-up at the Philly Show, so excuse my delay in responding.
Yes, that was my Type 2 version of the 1952 Mantle. I recently sold it. My scan of the two Mantle cards is a couple of years old.
This Mantle was originally in my friend's collection. He acquired it in the Fall of 1952 when he was a teenager in the Smoky Mountain region of North Carolina.
Shown below is a scan of this card prior to me getting it graded by SGC.
There you go....how's that for provenance. I hope you are happy with it.
