The color on the PSA looks normal to me, the color on the SGC looks strange. Do they really vary that much?

Same.

I couldn't think of a better scan that shows a multiple of Mantle cards than this PSA one.

Note, both print runs are shown from 10 gem mint down and the only one that looks anything like (imo) to the SGC copy is the Fair 1.5.

Maybe the blue tint/hue card is a variation?

Yeah, I guess, based on these scans.

Of those all but the 86 seem to me to at least be in the same neighborhood and scan differences could account for it. They all look the slightest bit blue/green to me and with a more vibrant facial color.

I agree with you. I think the scanner settings could have a lot to do with the apparent difference. It could also be the way the cards are stored over the years or different print runs. The PSA 7 of the original two cards discussed has a particularly dark blue/green background.

It's SGC ones look off to me so maybe it's the type of plastic they use in their holders? I know it's a stretch but maybe they scan different or something like that?
In hand, my Mantle is more green than anything, and being bluish, like the SGC copies, never even crossed my mind.

Not a 52 Mantle expert (because, well, why bother!) but on card with PSA Cert 02108511 what is up with the border around his name. I used to do newspaper layout by hand in highschool and I'd've gotten canned if I couldn't tool any straighter than that! Is that considered a variation, it's the only one I see like that, and obviously is NOT just a print issue.

Stars are wavy on the version without a full box around the team logo. Also note the missing pixel (white dot) along the left border towards the top. And on the others note the missing pixel in the lower left corner of the black border.

After seeing the SGC at the National, the color is normal. The difference is a lighting issue from the picture.
