The St. Louis Craigslist Mantle is a type A (easiest way to tell is to look at the Yankee logo. The type A Yankee logo has the black border on the bottom. The type B does not-the yellow box runs right into the white background of the name plate.
Finally, since it is a type A, it's 100% fake because if you look at the black border surrounding the card, the lower left hand corner should be missing a pixel. The card for sale is not missing the pixel. In fact, it appears if the horizontal black border extends beyond the left vertical border.
