I just had to do a follow up. Attached is a picture of the card that has a comparable "Guaranteed Authentic" sticker. It, of course, is a 52 Mantle. It's currently at auction by a company that has several questionable listings. The bid is at $5,000 already and it closes tomorrow.
It took me about 2 seconds of reviewing the pictures that it is fake. It is a type I Mantle. It should have a missing print dot in the lower left corner of the black border - it does not. The h and s in Right and DiMaggio's on the reverse should be aligned - they are not. Without having the card in hand to do more extensive research - I'm 100% positive it is fake.
They also have this Tom Brady rookie - graded a mint 9. Check out the photo - it doesn't even have the grading company! It is at $350 already!
Is this crazy or what? I've notified the host auction company that this auction is a fraud, but it continues.
People see these cards and think "What a Great Opportunity!" They don't realize they're being ripped off and refuse to face reality - it is NOT REAL.
When is this going to stop?
