I am wondering if they came in packs "assembled" or if you had to put them together. Agreed, Dave - anyone can switch the shutters pretty easily, and I would think the shutters contribute very little to the overall value. If issued unassembled, I would think they should grade that way. And if you graded a shutter and a card separately, you could line them up to see either image! Think I will have to dig mine out and take a look at them again. The Mantle/Berra in question also has pen ink and maybe marker markings on the back. Had to be a 1 mistakenly labeled a 6, maybe a transcription error as Elm posits?
