52 Topps Mantle- Any chance its real?

Matt,

I would have to give a No as well. There are a lot of things which are not consistent that give me concerns. The washed out colors are a huge issue, as well as the dark staining on the back which makes it look like it was given a bath in tea, while the colors on the front are washed and not consistent. The corner wear isn't consistent either - just looks odd. Just too many things that don't look right. I would be curious to see his answers for why he didn't get it graded...

Nice Gehrig logo in your avatar....it looks like the Gehrig signature on the wall at the Louisville Slugger museum/factory.

No to me--
1. the dark area at his temple looks too dark.
2. His cap brim looks shade-- part yellow, part white
3. Looks at his hands.. they look 2 totally different.
4. looking at the starts..left side looks yellowish and fades to white towards the right side.
5. The neck area looks too pixeled
