Differences in color and registration on '57 Topps is pretty common, as far as I know. For example with #95 Mantle, some have the black / brown / green coloring in the background, while others have the more subtle blues and greens working and (just my opinion) that latter is usually a much prettier card. If the card stock, "vintage" smell and other tell tale signs are on, they are probably authentic. I've never seen a fake '57 Topps that wasn't a pretty obvious one, but I don't suppose that means they don't exist this day in age.
