I don't think that one is real. I mean, it is a real reproduction. But not a real, vintage, original 1951 Bowman Mantle.

Agreed. Mantle's skin color is off and all the aging on the back looks artificial.

Default somewhere
likely in the archive (sorry Bruce :-)) - there is thread containing a specific printing "tell" on fake '51 Mantles....... Perhaps a search would yield fruit.

edited to add: In this case however - such diligence might be overkill as there appear to be many flags.

fake corner wear (and no creases or wrinkles with that), fake browning on the edges and centered perfectly....those are some of the issues.

I have a 1951 Bowman reprint set that I bought from Fritsch several years back before putting together a real one. That reprint set says "reprint 1986" on the back of the cards
