Default Did any hand made plate for any set ever have to be replaced?

The top Mantle in my post is a flawless copy (Type I).

The lower Mantle (TYPE II) has two subtle, but distinctive "flaws" relative to the Type I.

1st....the Name Box yellow-star border is somewhat ragged....seen above the lettering "KEY MA".

2nd....there is a haze (or a gloss) on his right arm.

Perfectionist, that collect this card in high-grade, will pay more for the Type I example.
