Counterfeit Mantle card being auctioned as PSA 5

[Wymers Auction]

Payment must be posted within 12 hours of sale or I will void the sale. That is kind of crazy for this type of card. I have been looking for the white in the logo bat fake info, but I cannot find it. I have read that also.

There should also be a black pixel missing in the bottom left border. I do not think that pixel is missing.

I was looking on the internet to see if I could find the "real" 1952 Topps Mantle with that cert #. I didn't find it, but I came across this article. The cards pictured in this scam would be very hard to spot. Scary stuff!

Look what I found! The real 1952 Topps Mantle, PSA Cert #31517905. It was sold by Leland's on 4/28/2006. It realized $18161. Looks a bit different in the ebay listing. It's not even the same version of 1952 Mantle. Can someone clue ebay into this. They don't want to listen when we've told them it's a fake.

AWESOME detective work! You are indeed an Internet searcher extraordinaire! Now if only eBay would listen to all of us and remove the bogus card from the auction!

I reported this card also, but being in a PSA slab Ebay seems to be careful at best. I contacted the seller and gave him a link here and informed him that there is no possible way that card is genuine.

I called PSA and they are looking into it. I hope this item can be pulled in time.
