Sorry to be the bearer of bad news; the borders on back are just far too thick. Compare the space above the red to this real one...

The wear on it looks natural, so if it is a reprint it is a very well done one. This is going to sound weird, but how does it smell?

It actually smells old that was one of the first things I did haha. Gonna be submitted to PSA just to make sure. Someone else mentioned the borders on the back of the card being too wide as well.

Definitely a fake Mantle, the aging is not appropriate the way the creases sit and surface not right. If you don't have one already, buy a ten dollar jewelers loop and take a look at the printing. You can pick out the fakes in an instant this way as they won't have half tone printing.

Just compare the borders to real ones; that's all you need to see, evidence-wise. Pretty clear cut.

This is what stood out to me as being off. The creases look wrong. Hard to explain my concern other than saying that they all break the color too much.
