Looking at my copies, I think this is more than the result of cards coming out bright or light depending on the ink levels used when the sheet was printed. Some of the red spots really shouldn't have red there in any amount, and don't on the 'correct' copies of the card. This is not a rare one to find at all, pretty easy recurring defect if this meets ones definition.
EDIT - my iPhone has a hard time picking this up, you can see it in the photo but it is truly blindingly obvious if you have both cards in person

I am a Cardinals collector, so this card concerns me. There is already a known variation with this card. One variation shows the black names at the bottom closer to "Lindy Shows Larry". You can tell by looking at the "L" in "Larry" underneath the "w" in "Shows". One variation is much closer than the other.
While looking at them now, the card with the black names closest has the pants more reddish with the reddish faces. The other one is more of normal color. I am thinking that this will be consistent with every card. In other words, I am predicting that you won't find the "reddish" coloring on a card with the black letters lower and further way from the white letters. I would love for someone to confirm.
