Good evening,
The 1983 Topps '52 reprint set contains one of the most desirable licensed reprints of Mickey Mantle's iconic 1952 Topps #311 card. Featuring card fronts with a slightly glossy finish and limited to an estimated 10,000 copies, they are rarely found in high grade due to centering problems and issues with stray print marks.
Lately, however, I noticed a number of higher grade examples show up on eBay in PSA slabs. Many of these originate with seller hearvoices, who has in the past been accused of selling forgeries (see, for instance, HERE and HERE).
This thread will demonstrate that the two high grade examples currently on eBay, a PSA 9 being sold by the aforementioned hearvoices, and a PSA 10 being sold by nathan2750, are counterfeit cards.
Below are counterfeit examples that I uncovered, all in PSA holders. It is unclear where these counterfeit reprints originated, but they are assuredly not authentic examples of the Mick's 1983 Topps '52 Reprint:
