1952 #313 Thomson
We all know about the stitching on the ball being different directions, but here are some other features about this card.
On the reverse, the ball is touching the left margin on one, but not the other. This is recurring.
On the obverse, there is a yellow top to the fence or whatever is at the left, leading to his cap. The other version does not have this. This also is recurring.
The yellow obverse is on the same card with the version that has the ball touching the margin on the back.I looked on both eBay and COMC and have concluded that this is the way these cards were done. I recall that this, along with Mantle and Robinson, were double printed and thus the differences.
