The 3 high series DPs are on the list

As you know....but for those that don't....the Double-Printed Mantle has several printing differences which are indicated here.



.... Type 1 .................................................. .................................................. ...... Type 2


/\ ...........A.............B........................ ............C..................................... .............................................A.... ........B.................................C /\



Differences between Type 1 vs. Type 2

A......Right arm skin tone vs. right arm glossy

B......Yankees logo box border complete vs. logo box border incomplete

C......Clean yellow top braid in name box vs ragged yellow top braid

And, of course the stitches on the baseball on the back are reversed.
