New guy here...1952 Mantle...is it legit?

[SAllen2556]

Just wanted to add to the OP that there is a card show in Redford Michigan this Sunday from 9am to 2pm. https://www.facebook.com/RedfordCardShow/

I'm sure you could get an opinion there or at least actually see and feel an ungraded '52 common to compare with yours. Lots of older gentlemen selling 50's Topps cards set up shop at the show....like every other card show in America.

So like other Mantles on net54....we never get to see the results of a PSA submission... gone with the wind

I highly doubt there was ever a PSA submission.

When someone comes on the board with less than 20 posts and asks about a 52 Mantle, why do I always wonder if it's someone asking "how good does this fake look?" And then we tell them how to make the fake better. Just me being cynical I guess

Those have been my suspicions, as well.

I always figure they are just looking for a sucker to buy their fake Mantle they bought off Etsy.

My thoughts as well.

You guys are probably right and if so think how maddening it must be for a guy to get all this advice about his card and what he should do with it when all he wants is an offer
