Question concerning Mantle rookie and seller

[thenextlevel]

I have been looking at 1952 Mantles, and I noticed this nice example on eBay.

My question is this seller has a shop called Lemoyne Coins and Collectibles in PA, and I believe may have been involved in shady activity in the card industry. Do you guys think this card is legit? It passes the eye test to me, but if this guy is who I think it is, it makes me hesitant to make an offer. Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks, Chris

If I were paying 15K for a card, I'd pay in person and pick it up.

Yes he is somewhat near me, and that was the plan, but I was just curious as to what you guys think. Have you heard anything about this guy, and do you think the card looks legit. Chris

Forget what the card looks like!! If you know he has not played fair in the past and you have a "bad feeling" about it - trust that and stay away. You'll feel much better than tellig yourself "I should have listened to myself. That said - there is no shortage of 52 Mantles out there. I am sure you can find another. Good luck.
