You also may be able to tell the difference in printing when comparing to other 56s. Use a loop or magnify glass. Also feel the paper stock and see if they feel different.

The card stock feels about the same. Similar flexibility. It looks slightly brighter than the others I have. But it's hard to compare stock because the others are not in good condition.

Not in hand it looks questionable.
The edges definitely look artificially aged.

One other thing I forgot to mention...both pictures were taken from a phone and the flash was on both times. It does not appear glossy. That was the giveaway on a card that turned out to be a reprint.
I guess the stain could be tape, but doesn't tape usually leave residue? The "stain" is smooth like a real stain.

I'm leaning towards real, albeit with a crappy trim job. To me, it looks like someone took a dull knife to the edges resulting in that appearance. The rest doesn't raise any red flags and the stain looks natural, rather than artificial. It might be gum but also may be rust or something else it was stored on. As I said, I could be wrong and it is hard to tell without it in hand.

I don't have an opinion one way or another. I am far from an expert. However, that being said, I have never seen another 1956 Mantle with that white spot on the "c" in Mickey's signature or the white line on the "Y" of Yankees.
