The Young is mine. E101/102 don't have any real front differences that I am aware of. In addition to the differences Brian stated, some individual players with the same images have other minor differences in other sets. Crawford has a spacing issue, Mathewson has a text size difference, etc. Personally, I think they should all be classified as E92, but the proof is just circumstantial. E92, particularly Cocoa, are littered with all sorts of issues (miscut fronts/backs, overprint, upside down backs, etc). These types of errors aren't nearly as common with the E101/102 sets.

There is also an example of an e92 with a miscut back that shows evidence it was printed on the same sheet as a different set. From memory I think it was a Nadja Stone with American Caramel text, but I don't have access to my notes right now.

I also believe both these may have come from the same sheet as the offset on the back is nearly identical. Likewise, I think all the menageries may have come from the same sheet for the same reason. The menageries are interesting because there are at least 2 examples from non-sport sets that also exhibit the same offset. I cant prove they are from the same sheet and that multiple sheets werent just printed wrong. If they are from the same sheet though then that also points to multiple sets being printed on the same sheet.
