Pretty sure these are something like the 1962 Topps Green Tints, a low budget print run or outsourced to a different than normal print shop to meet a deadline.
I think these are definitely 'true' variations, but a pretty boring one. I'm having fun using it as an excuse to build the first 2 series again! Thank the Lord Mickey isn't in the run affected...

I fully agree on the Mantle..gulp! Thanks for the info on these. I'll admit, if/when I get a complete set, I would be open to picking up those "other" first 72 again.
