Yes, we can only speculate. I've never seen the large ball, even if, as you point out, there's a whole board full of them in that picture. But I have seen a couple with the smaller ball, and at least one with the longer red, white, and blue ribbons and a beautifully printed "1924 World Series" on the white one. They would have had at most a few days to get those made and distributed, so it's a real mystery why there would be any variations at all. Considering I've probably only seen ten or so of these pins total, its rarity only adds to the mystery.
