Actually, that's not an indicator of fraud. Actually it's a very real variety. The Mantle card was one of the three double prints on the high series sheet (along with the Robinson and Thomson). Type 1 the stitches point to the left, type 2 they point to the right.
I hope this doesn't mean you passed on a stack of Mantles at a garage sale!
