I believe I've seen an uncut sheet with the Mantle double printed. With that and the 'truckloads' of extra product, this Mick could be the UD Griffey of the '60s - printed in seemingly unlimited numbers.
BTW though, I do love this set. I put it together and then my son put one together as his first vintage set. We've since worked on acquiring it in autographed form and are currently standing at 56/60.
