Authentic Card ? (Mantle Rookie)

Posted By: Seth Nagdeman

he was asking $3,000 which was a fair price if it was a real card. before taking the drive he assured me that it was real and that he had more cards. i just couldn't imagine that someone would invite you to their home and try to sell a fake. he also had other fake cards of home run derby and 48 leaf. any other time i have travelled for a collection i have been very happy with the results.

it was a hi-res color copy of a real card with creases. all the detail was there, but it was rediculous because if you felt over the front of the card there were no creases... they were only in the photo. the paper stock was wrong and you could see that it was "manufactured in a basement." I'm a very calm person, but I did get angry with him. I said that his cards were garbage, he is trying to rip off people, he wasted my time, and just to give it up since this was illegal. i said a few other choice words, but I'll leave it at that. :D
