DavidI'm would not accuse and am not anyone of counterfeiting on this quality alone, but the 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle has clipped corrners which are describes as 'evenly rounded.' Apparently the most difficult thing in making a counterfeited card or cabinet card is making rounded corners, as many computer print counterfeits have obviously clipped corners. There also appear to be inconsistant white touches to the edges of the back of the card, as if the 'dark grey card stock' was merely printed onto white stock ... Otherwise, the card looks quite vivid and realistic-- though the color tone on Mantle's face don't look quite right.
