I have 3 of the 69 Mantles, 2 whites and a regular, but have never seen one like this. I have been a long time collector of Topps variations/printing erors for my sets, and have not heard mention of a coloration difference on this card before. |

D.C., when I see a card like that I wonder what the heck PSA is picking at, grade-wise, to keep it from a 9. I know 8-s gotta be darn near perfect anyway, but the only thing I see is maybe centering not being "exactly" precise. But c'mon, Geeeez! The back? |

In the past (meaning about 25-30 years ago), I remember having cards from 1969 out a vending box that had deeper blue backgrounds. Tom Seaver specifically comes to mind. The cards are long, long gone, so I have nothing to post other than my recollection. |

I vote for color shift on press. I always thought the color was terrible on '69's- the blue skies often look gray. This one has a decided blue shift, I suspect they were tweeking the color at the beginning of the run. |
