You can make these in under 48 hours with the right light. You can also cover areas of the card to create specific areas missing green or missing yellow, and to prevent other areas of the card from fading. There’s a reason we see more superstar cards like this every year. The flood will probably come soon, it’s not only a natural type of damage but easily mimicked.

I bought my card three or four years ago. I've been looking for similar cards since. I have found the two I posted.

But I don't just look for Mantle. I look at a lot of 63 Topps cards. If you can post another card from the set that is supposed to be green but is blue instead, I would appreciate seeing it.

If the wear is natural, it should occur the same way for other cards. I haven't been able to find them.
