Nope that's not me. Here's a full photo of mine:

Any chance you have a normal one to put side by side and take pictures of them together. The whole card looks a little off to me, so does the other one pictured with the green #.

Interesting that both those cards have the three black dots (left of elbow, top of arm, right hand). Same with the one Bob posted 8 years ago. The ones on COMC have none of those dots.
I'm still leaning fake.

Unfortunately I don't. I can tell you the color is not as bold as the typical '66. But other than that (and of course the green #) it looks real. It also feels and (this may seem strange) smells like a real card.

Maybe someday I'll find out something. Until then it's a good conversation piece!

The condition of those "new" green #d Mantle's is astounding. 2 new discoveries 51 years after the original issue, and near mint condition. What are the odds of that?

Yo I have the same card exactly to the tee I wish we can find out more about it I'm not sure how to attach the picture

Always fun to see a Bob Lemke thread revived
