Is it thought that he is on a row that was printed more than the other rows? I have miscuts showing Stanky above Snider AND under Snider so it would make sense for the row Stanky is on to be a DP row. I also have a scan of a miscut 55 Clemente beside Stanky so that would also make Clemente a DP.

I should have said it differently or left out. I think Stanky is one of the extra prints - I don't think, based on population samples I've had in the past, that all 50 cards (counting the 4 replacement cards twice as they clearly are true DP's) were produced in an equal number of slots. The third series does not seem to exist in equal or close to equal quantity. Rows may have changed and cycled like Bowman did, or some rows were produced more than others as a constant on the two slits, inconsistent rows, or something else, but I will be surprised if it is found to be a straightforward 46 single print + the 4 extra slots for the double prints to replace the missing numbers.
I would not be surprised if Clemente is an extra print of some kind at all, just really hard to compare populations for a superstar rookie that gets all the attention.
