1952 Topps Mickey Mantle: Input Appreciated

[jchcollins]

The slab here is a dead giveaway too. I wouldn't buy a '52 Mantle that's not in a PSA or SGC slab.

Bat is way too clean near his right hand for starters.

Surprised no one mentioned how narrow the borders look.

A handful of other things haven't been checked either. It might be able to fill a whole bingo card of mistakes.

M-I-C-K-Y across the top for bingo, since they probably misspelled his name too.

Check this one out guys, someone really stupid to pay 20k for this

It actually says Trimmed on the flip. I don't remember seeing that before. When did PSA actually put a reason for an Authentic grade on the flip or do they still do it depending on the reason?

Older slab. On some of them with big cards they would do things like that, putting "trimmed". Today I think that would just be Authentic Altered.

Thanks. It would be nice if there was some way they could do that still since there are some cards graded Authentic Altered where it is not obvious what the reason is for the grade, and most of the time, the seller doesn't know either.
