Perhaps sounds simplistic, but why not ask the owner why he never got the card graded?

the card has been in the family.. the guys father who is now in his 70s is the original owner.. and passed the card down to his son who is the one looking to sell his card.. its been with the family since taken out of the pack. (is what i am being told)

That is the same story told by everyone though. It wouldn't inspire confidence in me. I've seen sale posts for Sinclair Oil Ruth baseballs that the person insists were gathered in person by a grandfather.

I think DJ gave some great advice - to paraphrase, you don’t get hurt by the deals you don’t do.

If you are at all doubtful, then walk. The downside is likely much greater than the upside, and you will have plenty of opportunities to buy a 52 mantle (they are not particularly rare)

That would mean he was born after 1940 for a 1952 card....so if he is less than 80 he was under 12 when he obtained it according to the math... looks good though...

Taken out of the pack in THAT condition?

Without my Topps sniffing hound dog being able to check the card in person, I'd vote real on this one. But then again, I'm not voting with my money.

I would ask to see his other high numbers from the pack. if they kept the Mantle he surely kept the the other high numbers and probably bought more than one 1952 Topps high number pack?--just my thought.

You should also sniff it to see if it smells like old cardboard and bring another 52 with you sit them side by side to check thickness (from being in screwdown.)

May not have been graded as it looks like a thumbtack hole in upper left.
