Any thoughts on the card ?

This is the buy/sell/trade section. Theses are great topics but should be posted in the proper section. http://www.net54baseball.com/forumdisplay.php?f=7

Can someone get PSA involved to verify they are fakes? I would assume they would want to take legal action as it could hurt their reputation. This guy should be in jail. He's not just peddling knockoff Topps T206 frames.

I've never ever seen such a pronounced "ghost" on a '57 Mantle as on your bottom example..

This is really disturbing! I don't pretend to be an expert on identifying counterfeits. I'm doing my best to learn and read things on here. But one thing I will say is at times depending on the card I do pay a bit of a premium to get a graded version to increase the chances that its legit. I didn't realize there are lots of counterfeits in slabs. I totally get the second hand autograph authentication can be a bit of a crapshoot but I thought the card market was pretty tight.
