|  Local Auction House- Are theses Cards Real? 
			
			Hi guys, below is a link to a local auction house.  There are a few cards, some autographs and memorabilia.  Is there any chance that the Mantle and Mathewson are real?   I don't do cards so I am just curious.  If by some crazy chance they are, you might get a good deal.  I have no affiliation with the auction house and am not promoting this in anyway. http://www.jenack.com/viewauction.aspx?a=393 Jeff |

			I don't know Topps fakes as well but the Matty looks good from the scan. I don't see any blatant fakes in the auction.  (I could have missed something as I only looked for a minute)

			I agree with Leon.  I don't know how to tell if the Mantle is real or not, but it looks good to me and the Matty looks good for sure to me.   Best, AndyH .

			The Matty and Gehrig look good.  I don't know if it's the scan but the front of the Mantle looks off to me.

|  Mantle 
			
			The 51 Bowman Mantle looks to be fake in my honest opinion.  The borders look too big, and color appears to be off. Just my 2 cents. Tony |

|  Mantle 
			
			As a long time lurker in the shadows, I can finally speak to something I have experience with. That 1951 Bowman Mantle is almost positively a fake.  The face is too red. Unforunately, many years ago,before I stumbled on this Site, I purchased one. I keep it as a example of making a purchase before you know what you are doing.  It was an expensive lesson,but one I learned well.

			The Mantle looked a bit bright, so I'd double check that.  The other pics are small and I did a quick look throuigh, but I didn't see any obvious reprints, including the Topps.  I've never heard of reprints of the blankets (#1).  If they're felt, I'd assume those are legit.

			Pretty sure I saw the exact same Matty in a LiveAuctioneers auction... isn't this the same card as lot #14 in the "local auction"?  http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/...-baseball-card
