I looked at approximately 20 of each of the cards discussed by Mr. Verechek in his article regarding the slight shift variations in some 1963 series 5 cards. Besides those that he wrote about, I see that each card exhibits other variations. For example:

On # 439, Don Zimmer, there is a 3 stripe vs.4 strike variation (far left of card). The 3 stripe version has the bat on the inset pointed directly at the demarcation between the red border & Zim's collar. Also, the 3 stripe version has the elbow on inset touching the inset circle. The four stripe shows the bat pointed well above the red border, and there is a gap between elbow and circle. There are also differences in the stat box sizes and the trademark positioning between the two varieties.

On # 438, Wes Stock, the inset head is either under the gray or not. On cards where the head is not under gray, we see additional white area by the 3 on back of photo, and there is a sharper boundary between inset circle and pants. On the back, the top line of stats extends to end of yellow box.

All other cards show multiple variations, as well.
