ebay Mantle PSA 5 1952 too good to be true?

[1952boyntoncollector]

how can someone with tons of feedback not start the bidding at 20k...he had a 10 day buy it now window so why not a 10 day bidding window starting at 20k....makes no sense....if good to be true..

i was going to buy the card..but didnt feel like going through all the ebay challenges when find out card is not what it should be...only 2 pictures as well for a 20k card...

Also one scan is crystal clear and the other is blurry..Whole thing seems odd..

I'd pass. I've found that people who try and get steal deals on the 1952 Topps Mantle always get burned. Plus if I am spending over 10k on a card it's gotta be centered, LOL.

[1952boyntoncollector]

for a mantle thats centered...but if its fake or not as represented doesnt ebay refund your money?

i know a hassle and we may be supporting the taliban when they take the payment and run but doesnt the buyer get paid back by ebay at least?

Crystal clear front, fuzzy back scan. There's your red flag.

seems the ebay seller gets good reviews...he just emailed me saying card sold and was legit whatever that means..

the card does show up on the psa registry and would be nice to email the person on the registry with the card to verify or see if theres a duplicate cert number out there... the consignor is now saying he added it to his inventry before listing the card and has since removed it.

Card sold in REA in 2012. For some reason the seller photoshopped out the missing pixel. And the back scan is DIFFERENT the REA one had a tilt the fuzzy backscan on ebay did not.
