Default A New 1962 Variation for the Hardcore E & V Collectors

I recently acquired a 1962 Dick Hall, #189, as a slight upgrade for my set. After receiving it in the mail, I realized that the stuff on his chin wasn't wax remnants as I had initially thought. It's actually printed that way.

Fast forward to today and I was in a card shop digging through the guy's 1962's and what did I run across? Why, a nearly identical 'Soul Patch' Dick Hall (yes, I just coined that phrase), so now I know this anomaly isn't a one-time thing.

Here is the regular version of the card (a screen capture from ebay) on the left and my two bearded buddies on the right. These are non-green tint version cards. And speaking of ebay, I did a search and found no other 'Soul Patch' cards. There were two that had somewhat similar anomalies, but they were less drastic and offset from the center of his face.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
