Opinion on 52 Mantle

Here is the real one.

On the Mantle listed on ebay, are genuine cards ever smooth on the front, with the back crazed like that?

On this one -

It appears to me to be trimmed on both the TOP and the RIGHT sides (based on the corners appearing to have "nipples" at the points. Do you think that is correct analysis?

The slab in the OP, and the slab with the real card from LOTG, are different. The one with the real card is the normal size for 1952-1956 Topps cards, while the slab in the op, is for 1957-present Topps, etc..... (due to the severe trimming of the fake card).

Thanks for the clarification Steve, I thought he was talking about the slab that the real card was in, not the fake one that was listed on Ebay.
