Just picked up this Type 1 Mantle.

I overpaid for it because I noticed it was very slightly different from one I already had.

I've indicated the area where I first noticed the difference within the red lines. The difference is very small, the photo appears to be shifted slightly to the left. However, there is also a slight difference in the upper left corner. It appears to be shifted to the right a little bit. Therefore, I think the new photo is simply zoomed out very slightly from the first photo.

Of course a normal person wouldn't care about the minute difference. But, what can I say?
