Nice catch Rick. I will go through my scans to determine which cards have each flaw-- a cursory review shows that each player is consistent in how card back displays, flaw or no flaw.

As you may have noticed, every Weil's card has a slight inking void in the form of a very thin line in the bottom half of the "e" in Weil, and in some it is a bit more pronounced:


Note also that some have heavier inking on the "NS" in New Orleans, with the bottom leg of the "N' cut off. Here's a Shauno Collins (compare to above):

I find that the following cards have the same inking as the Collins: #27 Caldwell, #94 Kauff (mine); #134 O’Neill, #144 Robinson, and #194 Wolfgang. #70 Gowdy has a filled-in upper “S”, as does #61 Foster.
