Beware of FAKE Old Judge-

Most of the reprints this fraud is selling are pretty pathetic...but did everyone see the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle?

Here's what is written: "This card was just recently acquired and little is known about it other than what you can see in the scans."

Not true. Just from looking at it, one can easily come to the following two conclusions:

1. The bright white on the nameplate on the front seems a bit out of place given the "toning" of the borders.

2. This is the only white back 1952 Mantle in existence. All others have dark backs. Curious. I would think the price/bid would be significantly higher given this rare, one-of-a-kind variety.
