Here is an older thread showing some other PSA fakes (most all are better than this 51 Mantle and 55 Clemente) that have been offered up for sale and caught by other posters here.

Obviously, some of these examples are at least 6 years old, but are still more sophisticated than the Mantle/Clemente from this seller....one of the fake cases in this thread even has a fake barcode on it(post 18). No excuses for any barcodes on the fake cases not to scan and match the serial number as there are websites such at the one below to create (or in my case verify) a barcode. I would guess that the creator of the 64 Mantle PSA 9 card in the old thread has evolved his craft and likely would not make the same error with the barcode not matching the serial number.

For PSA serial numbers use the Code 2of5 interleaved
