All-in-all, this is asking for trouble.

This card is going to reappear in a year as a "real" card, bet on it.

That would be my guess, unfortunately.

Ditto on the above post. I'll bet my savings that this card gets passed as legit very soon.

Even if the card is listed as a reprint, I'm not sure how ebay would allow them to be sold in fake PSA holders with legit cert numbers. They are probably busy redesigning the my ebay page or making the site "easier" to use...

The first one went "poof" and it's gone. Hopefully the winning bidder didn't pay first.

The second one is still going strong.

I found this question and answer from the last auction interesting:

Q: Hello, Is the card in the picture the one that will be received? Why does the cert number from PSA show up in the database as being a REAL 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle and not a reprint? Do you have anymore info on how you think this is a fake? Thanks Aug-16-09
A: Hi there - the card in the picture is the EXACT card you will receive. Not sure about the serial #. My friend who is VERY familiar with the 1952 topps issue said he's "99.999%" sure this is a reproduction and that the case or label must have been tampered with somehow.

I'm not sure what is worse, that there are apparently almost undetectable fakes getting graded or that there are people selling fakes knowing "that the case or label must have been tampered with somehow".

Don't count on it.

eBay is strictly for eBay.
