I can’t find another card like this one in the set. I searched a good number of the other cards on ebay and only the odd Mantle turned up. Searched through a good number of ads. All had the correct colored ink and readable shield.
The PSA graded of this card I could find are all of the correct colored shield too.
This started me thinking on the 83’ Topps Mantle counterfeit mess and I began to question authenticity.
Those 83’s flew under the radar for a long time before being noticed. When the only card with the flaw is the most valuable card in the set it makes me think fake.
