It's been a while since our last battle in the great 311 Mantle wars, so I'd say we're due. To that end, I give you the 311 Mantle Challenge.

These two 311 Mantles are currently for sale at a major auction house. Disclaimer: I'm not trying to out an auction! So please don't hate on me for it.

Looking at them closely, they seem to be in fairly similar condition. Maybe some very minor differences if you look reaaaaaaaaaally closely, including some registration differences. Of course, one is a Type 1, and the other is a Type 2, because why not.

Based on the pre-auction estimates, in the current market, one of these is expected to sell for $2M, and the other for $400k.

Can you discern which one of them will merit the ~5x premium?

Bonus question: Is the 5x premium really appropriate based on the differences here?

Bonus bonus question: Try to guess what they will actually sell for when the auction is finally closed.
