Authentic Mantle Cards

This image of the two different prints of the 1952 Topps #311 Mickey Mantle card show one of the quickest
ways to spot a counterfeit card.
If the card you are looking at does not possess the traits of the above cards, you might want to think twice
before making the purchase. Also notice on the Mantle card "B", the yellow field (circled) surrounding the name is bleeding
out below the black border on the bottom. The Right Stitch, Left Stitch notes refer to the baseball on the back of the cards.
