Where is this card? I will go look at it

Artificially aged corners, stock doesnt look right where its worn.

I guess It could be the shadow in the photo.

Admittedly, I'm a skeptic.

Ive probably bought 2 or 3 Mantles on ebay for good prices that were never shipped and probably from scammers with 300 or so feedback. Never lost in them, but would be worth a few more photos at least.

Can you tell him that you'll buy it if he gets it graded? You can offer to pay for the grading if it comes back genuine.

If you're going to go that route why not buy one already slabbed? Surely the appeal of this card is the lotto ticket aspect of paying well below it's value.

The dollar amount the seller wanted for the card was closer to $12K.. at that price I can find a graded example. So no card was acquired.

but appreciate the help from the forum.. members stepped in right away to help.. Net54 is a great place for hobby talk, and protecting each other against scams.

I'm working on a 52 set in raw, low to mid grade and have been sorting cards, and placing them into cardsaver 1's. It's a fun side project. I buy the occasional, graded card to see them in top shape. I hope to find the right Mantle at some point.

I grabbed a card off of a stack with honest wear to show here. I didn't like the Mantle he had for sale, but it may have been real. He needs to send it to SGC or whatever to sell it, especially online..Rob

That is probably the smart move, because there was a real good chance that card was fake anyway.

$12k for a raw "Mantle"? Crazy.... Not worth the risk! $5k may be.
