New E121 (Series of 80) Variation (HOFer Harry Hooper)??

[rhettyeakley]

As I was looking at my E121 cards tonight I noticed that the 2 Harry Hooper cards I had were indeed slightly differnt in the picture portion, which to me constitutes a new variation. I initially noticed that the Hooper's feet were different distances from the frame of the picture, but was wonderng if that was really enough to warrant being considered a new variation.

I then showed my wife the cards to see what she thought (to get a second set of eyes) and she quickly asked why they took the "house" out of the picture on the one card. I looked and sure enough the one where Hooper appears to be slightly larger with his foot closer to the bottom frame is a slightly blown up image where the house or shed (or whatever that is on the left side of the card at the horizon) has been cut off.

While most people here could care less about the E121 set, I feel this is enough to warrant a new variation on this particular card. What are your thoughts?

I tried to line up the borders of the actual photo portion relative to one another, but they still weren't exactly lined up, so I appologize.
