I have never seen color variations of players. I have owned multiples of a number of the players. I didn't pay close attention to the size of their heads, but do not recall variations in them either. There were either 5 or 6 different packages(despite advertising 24 series) like the one shown above. 20 marbles per package (listed on the packages as "series") that would put a set at either 100 or 120. You used to be able to find them once in a while on unopened packages like the one shown. Those seem to be buried in collections as I can't recall the last time I saw one publicly offered. Hope that helps. Some bigger names - Clemente, Mays, Rose - no Mantle.
