Default E94 back variation?

Posted By: Richard

I was comparing the backs of some E94s and noticed what seems to be a back variation. On one card, there are missing quotes on the left of 4 names.

"OLD" CY YOUNG is missing both ticks on the left quote ( OLD" )

"HARRY" DAVIS
"TY" COBB
"TOMMY" LEACH are all missing the left tick on the left quote ( 'TOMMY" )

I looked at the card under high power magnification and checked for paper loss, etc. All of the original paper stock and gloss is there. A printing freak or are there several cards out there with the same missing quote marks? The ink strike on all adjacent letters is strong and whole. In addition, the quotes around "HUGH" above "CY" is all there. Seems like they would have been affected as well if it was a mis-strike.

Can anyone confirm if their E94s have a similar "variation"?
