Some oddities collectors believe that there are two versions of the Sheffield card....a cropping difference that results in either a small or large gap between his cap and the r e in Future

Interesting, I did not realize that belief was out there....just something else to pay attention to!

The variation absolutely exists, I do not have scans handy. The difference is most noticeable where is chain, collar and the team logo intersect.

Edited to add a scan that I stole from ebay, and to say that they are very easy to find, not "rare" in any definition of the word.

Doug---I have both versions. The cropping difference exists on several of the Future star cards....when I said some collectors think two versions exist, I meant some "odd" collectors think so...like you.....and me
