Mantle Error, Variation or just crappy printing?
I finally got around to organizing some of my 2011 Topps Cards. I have 4 Mickey Mantle 60 Years of Topps Cards. One card is clearly orange, the other three are red. Do not see this is the database. Is this an error? a variaton? or just crappy printing by Topps?

looks like the one on the top right might have missed a run through the printing press and didn't get as much color as the others.

Yep, one of the four process colors was running low.

I'm pretty sure you can send current year into Topps and they will replace it?
