Is there a specifc thread to ask for a legit check?

Her last 2 or 3 Negatives were $1500 and up and they claim fraud. She is in Canada which sucks also. The Mantle appears diamond cut but also trimmed on the top edge. Stay away/

But even AUTHENTIC only, the Mantle has some value.

Card is 100% trimmed, and rather violently at that.

Just curious about how you can tell 100% that it has been trimmed. Off centered cuts are fairly common in 1952 Bowman (i.e. one corner higher than another).

Check out this listing from the latest REA auction:

Severely higher on the top right corner. But yes, just because it's in an SGC holder doesn't necessarily mean this one isn't trimmed as well. *sigh*

I'm not questioning your judgement, I just want to know what else you are looking for. Is there an edge characteristic?

[vthobby]

That was implied.......he was asking an opinion on the card. If someone does not know that a 1952 Bowman Mantle holds value regardless then they have been living in Norway under some Moss.

It's most likely an atuhentic on the 1 to 10 scale. Values are all over the internet for an Authentic slabbed 1952 Mantle.

I's stay away regardless due to the recent negatives and her being in Canada.

You could get the same thrill and spend $1000 in overseas online gambling.

Good luck winning or ever getting your money back! Same thing!

Peace, Mike

Thank you everyone, for weighing in on this. Definitely going to stay away, I could tell something was a little off but I wanted to defer to better judgement.

As far as board etiquette goes, this is the Pre-War section so the post war section is more appropriate. Though, in reality, it was fine to post your post in this section.

It is always okay to ask about the authenticity of an auction item, even when it is ongoing.

Some people complain about "outing" ongoing auctions, but asking about authenticity is fine and what the board should be about.

And the rule against outing an auction is just some people's opinions, and there is no written rule anywhere on this board against it.

I'm just trying to figure out why Canada is such a bad place!
