 Looking at the White Letter Mantle on eBay....
 that is a variation.  It is NOT a print defect at all.  It was a purposeful removal of the yellow in the name / while leaving yellow elsewhere.
 
 Personally - I wouldn't give this a new designation at all.
 
 I don't mean to quell any enthusiasm.....
 But to give an honest reply to Bob Lemke's original post - I don't think this is a legitimate variation.

 Not a back guy but for what it is worth, I agree with this point. I checked my Boston AL team set and this one is kind of the only one I see with some shade.
