Concensus on the Hofman is that it's most likely a broken dye that makes his name look like Hofnlan
The back of the Milan card is printed with brown ink. I had posted scans here before trying to show the difference but the scans didn't show this very well. I showed the card to Scott Brockleman. He said he had seen one earlier in the day but thought it had been altered in some way trying to remove some ink from the back. He said that when saw my card and the fact that I have had mine for about 3 years, his theory about the other card being altered went out the window.
I brought both of these cards to Dave Foreman at SGC to see if they would slab them as variations. He didn't even think twice about slabbing the t207 Milan, but wants to talk with his graders before making a decision about the Hofman.
Looks like you t207 have a new back variation to look for.
