unless it came from a dealer I'd dealt with in the past and who is establisged as a major full-time dealer. And, when it comes to popular but not rare cards (like the Mantle cards referenced above), I would not purchase them at all except from an auction house or in person from an established dealer. One other rule of thumb: baseball cards don't travel well. Sellers in Fiji, Italy, etc., places with no baseball tradition, don't have hidden stockpiles of cards that a lucky few people manage to find and put up for sale on ebay. Just skip them. You will be happier.
