Definitely bogus. The printing method is all wrong. The 52s were printed in half tone, and on the closeup shots you should start to see the pixels as the image breaks down into the three primaries (yellow, cyan, magenta).
That card has all the hallmarks of a modern inkjet type print method. Also the centering for me is a dead giveaway. The '52 Topps Mantle is one of the worst centered cards out there. I very seldom have ever seen a truly centered one, even in high grade, and the ones that are centered can fetch 50 to 100 percent premiums over PSA SMR. But the fake Mantles I've seen are almost always perfectly centered. So when I see a raw 52 Mantle that is perfectly centered like this one, it's a big red flag.
