Fake 1952 Bowman Willie Mays in PSA case?

[smillz300]

Hi guys,

I'm no vintage expert but I picked this up on ebay for a decent price (under $200 dlvd) and I'm looking for your help if it's fake or not. I thought maybe he was taking pics with his potato phone camera so was hoping it didn't look as bad in person....boy was I wrong.

You can see the frosting at the bottom corners of the label but I don't see much frosting elsewhere. The case is scratched and scuffed bad however and there's fuzz stuck along the edges like it was glued. The card itself is very blurry and nothing like my Mantle or other 52s that I have. Here's the auction if that helps. Thanks in advance.

I don't know what a potato phone is, but if you're unhappy with the card, why don't you just return it?

When they fake cards, they normally don't make them poorly registered. Looks real to me. Most people also wouldn't replace a 1.5 with a fake.

Cert number checks out as well. But you probably already knew that.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions in the hobby. There are way more fake low end items than high end items.

I know nothing about the card in the holder but it looks like the holder has been opened because of the broken pins just above the card on both sides.

I am not an expert on those but I don't see obvious signs of it being a fake.

It looks real, but it is difficult to tell from the photos. The seller could have spent $75 for a decent scanner and probably would have gotten his $75 back through higher bids for this card.

The seller has 5 negatives out of only 28 feedbacks as a seller, so good luck if you try to return it.
