Do not have and have not seen the white arm band version. I do have 2 versions of the white slash at the left bottom border. In one it is all white and in the other it has a reddish or brownish mark in the white slash.

Where have you seen the white band listed ? Brightair ( Dingman) ?

Another variant collector ? What years ?

Welcome to the thread

Sun damage or not I still think this blue box Mantle is a sweet card:

Recurring two yellow streaks in inset.

Could it be something like this:

There is white on the shoulder on down past the elbow... and really looks like it goes down to the mark at the bottom.

Present in this one also: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233196339512

Otherwise if it is not that, it could be either a print error on the player in the background on the front, or perhaps on the cartoon guy on the back.

Trip— Not sure what the variant ejstel is looking for involves. Hopefully he will respond

Here are the four different that I have: the first is the smaller corner slash (no arm band), second is the larger corner slash with arm band (tough to see in scan), my excess yellow copy, and the copy with some left border missing. I think ejstel is referring to the 2nd copy (with red circle).

Cool! I just now seen this one, I missed it before. There are a handful on eBay so it doesn't appear to be rare. I found a scan of an uncut sheet to see who was on each side of Haskins, but neither Willie McCarter to the left or Don Ohl to the right have the black border line.

Thanks for posting those Larry

Re 1969 Washburn
...hi thank you I think it is the white on white arm line that I wasn't noticing in my search.

I had seen it listed in this lis (link below) but couldn't identify...

That is Richard Dingman's site. Great resource. He is a member and sometimes posts in this thread as brightair
