It's like an expensive scratch ticket, right? There only needs to be a 1-2% chance that it's real.

Of course, there's a 100% chance that it's not, but math is fluid.

It appears he has a positive feedback rating of "8" which is from purchases....he has not sold anything on eBay in the past.....Even if this card was real, I wouldn't want to bid on a '52 Mantle from someone who has never sold anything on eBay in the past...

Doesn't eBay have automatic authentication for all cards over a certain value at the moment or did they end that? Confused how that one isn't going through an authentication.

We live in an alternative universe now. Where the earth is flat, math is subject to interpretation, science is the devil's work, all viewpoints deserve equal coverage, and Mickey Mantle cards printed on your HP device are all innocent until proven guilty by your local neighborhood TPG.

9 bids now. I went ahead and flagged the sale as very likely a fake, and definitely at attempt to skirt the authentication process for cards over $250. Doubt it matters, seems like the Wild West over there at fleabay!
