A big question is whether the 3X AS cards of Mantle and Musial were replaced on both slits or just one of them. Impossible to tell unless some print scraps etc show up.. It would be kind of weird they didn't know they needed a Mantle AS card despite Musial's signing status. Mick was in the 2nd series so clearly signed with Topps for '58. I wonder if the extra Mick's are related to the plates suffering damage in light of Kevvyg1026's observations. The Musial AS's are right below the Mantle's I believe, so that area could have had damage and which also suggests only one slit was affected.
