Type 1 .................................................. .........……........... Type 2
 
And, as already stated the stitches on the BB on the back are reversed between Type 1 vs. Type 2 cards.
Good luck.

Here's a Coinky Dink for all you Mantle Fans!!!!
I believe I own the same card as the type 2 in your 1952 master set?
Of course it's been cracked out and into another holder, but here is a photo and a scan of the same card. In the scan, you can see the crease by the logo. When I bought the card, I did some research before the purchase to see if the card had been altered and I saw that same exact card and assumed it was the same?
I had a respected AH, associated with the sale of the card, tell me he made the flip...
What do think? Is it the same card?
