69 Topps Mickey Mantle
Hey there guys, can anyone tell me how you distinguish between the Mickey Mantle card from 1969 Topps of card #500? There are 2 versions and in the Beckett they list them as A and B. Thanks.....

RE: 69 Topps Mickey Mantle
If I remember correctly, one has either his name or the team name in yellow letters or white letters. I don't remember which is designated as A or B.
Okay, just looked it up .... 500b has Mantle's name in White Letters and is rarer than 500a with Mantle's name in Yellow.

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

I beleive the variation is name in white letters instead of yellow and is much harder to find so I would assume A would be yellow letters and B would be the much harder white letter variation

Yeah both names in white is the rare version.
Collecting Vintage OPC and older oddball and food issues as well as Maple Leafs.
