The card was a DP and the wavy line....and truncated e in the auto are traits of one version. On the back of that version the stitches on the ball run to the left. On the other version to the right. The Robinson and Thompson cards, the other DPs in the high series have the same back differences and minor front differences as well. The SCD Standard catalog used to list all 3 as variations ...at least through 2014,

The two different Mantles should exist in fairly equal numbers. It was when SCD listed them as variations I felt compelled to go out and get the second versions
