Misrepresented 63 Bazooka

[pawpawdiv9]

I bidded on it, but it did raise some specualtions..i thought the color was a bit faded and the story was weird. I sent messages to him too.
In the end, i got outbidded, maybe it was for the best.

Great bargin, if it is legit.


Here were my responses/questions i asked:

MY QUESTION:
Is this original from the 60's era??? and not a reprint/fake
The color shows some fading as the colors are not vibrant as compared to others i seen. Can you show a zoom in pic of it and a pic of the back, so I and others can see the card stock its printed on???

HIS RESPONSE:
Dear sir or ms.
The back is blank. I took pic with my phone no other way to get any bigger. I never said it was from the sixty's because I don't know. I'm an honest person. Right now i'm out of town and have no way to take more pics. It did'nt say reprint on it . I did not plan on card going for more then $5.00 or $6.00 because it was a Mantle and because I did not know history of card finding it in a dumpster.
Thanks Mike

MY QUESTION:
Sir, i am going to tell you this is a 1963 Bazooka. It will only grade "Authentic" by a grading company, since it is a hand-cut card.
You very well could see over 100, if the right people here really want it. But i think the coloring is concerning about it being legit to me.
This card is being faked alot and well it scares some folks. If they grade it and it comes back as real, they could double or triple the value to a collector.

HIS RESPONSE:
Dear sir,
Thank you for the info as I mostly sell hockey cards. Some of the other cards in dumpster were 70 and 80 baseball , football and basketball. It seemed as if some guy had a falling out with his wife or girl friend.
Thanks Mike
