so in other words its good there are third party graders..

I am going on board here to say-- that if I had something that's possible worth 10K++ and not know if its real or not??
Hell yeah, I am going to get that looked at You already took the 1st step by asking members here, some say yes, some no.
As you probably already decided, send it in.

I am skeptical due to absolute 50/50 centering.....Not sure I ever remember when I have seen absolute dead on centering like that. Maybe once or twice out of a thousand cards?

My initial response was if the original poster went back to the yard sale an hour later and a different 52 Mantle was in the same box, it would likely be a fake...
