I got this card at a estate sale. I bought a dresser once we got it home my wife was taking the drawers out to clean it and this card was in a envelope taped to the bottom of the drawer. I called the person I dealt with from the sale and he really couldn't tell me anything about the owner had passed away and the only contact he had was to charity to whom was supposed to receive the money from the sale because the man had no family. The card may not be anything I don't know that's why Im hoping some one could tell me I attached pics if better one or need let me know thanks

The card looks like a blatant fake to me.

Yeah I think the same, but it would be nice if it was just a lost Gem.

Get a 1952T common and compare the size, stock and printing. That should suss out any blatant fakes. Then put the two under a 100x microscope and compare the printing. If it still looks good to you, I'd suggest asking a board member near you with expertise in the set to have a look, or any rep from a legitimate auction house, if you want to sell. It would cost you $10K to send to PSA, so I'd turn over every stone before I did that.

Looks like a type 1. Some good information here:
https://allvintagecards.com/how-to-s...-topps-mantle/ The areas around the Yankees logo and around the stars look a bit off to me compared to others that I’ve seen…to orange. But it could just be the scan. Good lock with it. |

This is like reading Chapter 1 of The Idiot's Guide to Scamming.
A new guy's first (and only) post is relating a fanciful story that plays upon everyone's dream of discovering a hugely valuable T206 Wagner or a 1952 Topps Mantle hidden somewhere. The use of his 'wife' is to basically say, "Look, I'm just a regular guy, everybody. You can trust me." Since it is obviously a fake/reprint/whatever, why in high hell would someone keep it hidden away by taping it to the underside of a drawer??? Huh????? Oy vey.

I think the "estate sale" was also fake!

Maybe he was hoping we would all go nuts trying to contact him with a PM to buy it off him? Or maybe he's hoping that we'll share all the reasons why it's obviously fake so that he can come up with a better fake the next time around?

Like Raulus below. These clowns come in here and receive, unbeknownst to many it seems, information/tips on how to make their fakes better and/or more passable. Quote:
