1966 Mantle, green #50

[swarmee]

PSA has no record of a 1966 Salesman's Sample graded with Mantle on it. They only have "Howie Koplitz/Jim Lonborg/Luis Aparicio", "Don Mossi/Jim Fregosi/Sandy Koufax", and the guy selling a bunch on eBay only has 30 copies of "Pepitone/Niekro/Wagner".

I'm still leaning towards reprint rather than printing anomaly. Why would only the Mantle have a card number in green?

I am with Al. So good to see Bob's name in print again. What a great man.

I am betting this is a reprint but it is fascinating. Are there printing experts out there that could tell if this is a reprint or not? Print dots, marks, etc?

+1 on Bob.....couple thoughts on this card: 1)if this card is legit, more than likely there should be other 66s with green numbers on the back also, at least from the same series. 2) Neither of the example cards are centered, so I am thinking they may not be reprints, but were they altered in some way(as previously mentioned stained w/a chemical, etc)?
