Like Cliff, I had 3 copies of this card in my binder, however, my 2 of my copies were slightly different than Cliffs. I went through my boxes of extra 1978s and found I had right at 50 copies of this card. In looking more closely at them, to me it appears that there are 2 versions of each of the "red", "black on red" and "just black" versions of this card, with the main difference being on some of the "black on red" and "just black" versions the seams of the ball appear thicker and less defined than other copies.
A-Black on Red seams on ball appear thicker ............ 6 of 50
B-Black on Red seams appear thinner than "A"........ 32 of 50
C-Almost no black at all.......................................... 8 of 50
D-Just a slight touch more of black than "C"........... 1 of 50
E-Mostly all black, seams appear thinner than "F"... 2 of 50
F-All black, seams appear thicker......................... 1 of 50
With my sample size you can get an idea of which cards are more common than others.
