Default Do you consider this a legit variation

Here are two Boots Day cards
One with a light stantion in the background and one without. Your thoughts?

Well, I see the stantion in both cards, although in the top card it is much more faded. What I'm more interested about is the .COM in his signature. He must have been ahead of his time!

It's on both cards IMO.
That's a seller's variation.

Burkett tells me to get a copyright on "stantion".

IMO it looks like it may be a poor attempt to remove the light tower. While it may never be recognized in publications as a listed variation I think it's a good find none the less and if something similar were found with a Dodgers player on it I would be a buyer.

Default Variant

This card has been offered as a variation on ebay for some time. I personally think it does qualify as a variation in that in later runs I think Topps intentionally tried to reduce or eliminate the object. You can find some cards where it is even less visible. The same effort occurred in the Northup card from this set. That card can be found with a large blob on the front, a smaller blob and a speck
