Default 50 shades of Hoffman

More Hoffman examples here.
This was obviously one of the trickiest cards for the printers to get right.

Here are examples of:
- White 2b, darker shading on portrait
- White 2b, little shading on face
- Yellow in 2b, darker shading on portrait
- Yellow 2b, green stripe in background
- Yellow 2b, "normal" portrait (blue eyes evident)
- White 2b, but yellow in 3b, and a small yellow triangle above 1b

I wouldn't call all of these variations per se, but they definitely show that this card gave the printers fits.
