52 Mantle - Authentic or Fake?

A '52 Topps #311 that looks that good and has not found it's way into some TPG slab? I would be very skeptical. I know some people just love raw cards but if that is for sale, why leave a pile of money on the table?

I just had to chime in with a scan of the '52 Mantle that will be going to PSA for an entombment. It was actually pulled from a pack by a friend of mine (I've seen all of his '52s.....they all match this one). He is old (actually older than Al, if that's possible), and knew very little about the grading process. It's a nice card with all of its issues in the border area (4ish, but will go for more money if he sells).

To view the whole card at one time, right click on the image and choose "View Image".
