How do you determine fake Mickey Mantle #311 Topps cards? Also, does anyone have an authentic Renata Galasso Mickey Mantle #311 Topps "Reprint" that they can send me a picture of (front and back detail)? Can you describe the card stock of the Renata?

I recently purchased a Mantle #311 Renata and I'm trying to determine whether this card is "authentic" as far as it being reproduced by Renata of an "original and authentic" 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311.

I've attached pictures of the card I purchased.

Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

There is a website out there that has all the things to look for in a fakewith pictures and examples. Not sure of the name, but google 1952 Mickey Mantle card. The one pictured has "reprint" series on the back. That doesn't seem good.

The back of the one you have pictured is definitely different.

A '52 mantle is one of those cards you just don't buy raw. Psa, or bgs for sure. Or GEM grading is always reliable!!!!
