The hue's aren't type related, just the variance in ink in the well and how an exact sheet was run. Topps varied from slightly blue tint to red-looking tints all the way into the 70's. The top one just looks closer to 'correct'.

To me, proper coloring and toning makes a bigger aesthetic difference than how sharp a corner is. The one set I've built to a condition standard, I often pick a lower grade copy as my example for the coloring over a corner difference.
