Check out THESE beauties

Fake cards and fake flips. Look at the font and the line spacing on the flips. The middle line is exactly halfway between the first and third lines. A real PSA flip has four lines of type. Also, the backgrounds on the Mantles are the wrong shade of blue. These are obvious fakes.

Edited to add that there is another absolutely obvious dead-giveaway about the completely fake nature of the two Mantles. I'll just say that anyone familiar with the two '52 Topps Mantle variations will see it right away.

The stitching on the baseball on the reverse should be facing to the left on the variation with the complete box around the Yankees logo.

Those cards are all fake. The font on the flips aren't even close.

If anyone remembers, earlier this month Iggyman started a thread about a 52 Topps Mantle reprint on Ebay and I posted later that day about seeing a fake cake, PSA holder and flip at a show in Columbus, OH. If you recall, I mentioned that the dealer bought the fake slabbed card off of Ebay. The cards shown here in this thread look exacly like the one I saw that day at the show. I'm glad you posted the pictures so that everyone can now see what I was talking about.

Thanks

This thread has been working my brain...I guess I don't understand how this person produces a fake PSA holder.I can see how he may produce the label,but I'm baffled at the holder.I was under the assumption if you pried open one of these holders it would snap the plastic.Another reason I got concerned is I have a T-206 ,PSA graded,and the label has a "bubbled" look...anyone ever seen that?

Faker than Pan Andersons breasts. As for the holders bubble look some do that look for frosty edges they are easily popped and glued but you can tell by the frosty wdges
