If this guy isn't the perpetrator of the scam, I feel he's at least aware the card is bogus. Maybe he got burned, and he's trying to recoup his loss. Because he knows enough to put the card against a white background so you can't otherwise spot what I'm guessing would be some pretty obvious frosting on one edge.
Another big red flag is this joker hasn't dealt in vintage cards...only the new junk. He has no demonstrated expertise with these things. He probably just had someone approach him with a Mantle card, and figured, "Well it's on a PSA holder, and THERE'S NO WAY those can be fake, right?"
