This card was double-printed and here is a scan of the other version......





Note these differences in comparing the two images....

1....this version does not have the "gloss" on Mickey's arm that is seen in your scan

2....there is no raggedness in Mantle's name box, as in your scan

3....the "e" in Mantle name has a "hook" to it, while your scan doesn't

Despite these differences in how Topps printed their Mantle card, both cards are authentic.

Having said all that, there is an inconsistency in your two scans. Please explain why the
front image has sharp corners, while the back image has rounded corners ?
