You should email Tim Newcomb. He is the expert on these issues. As the previous post indicates, there are actually several sets that all go by the name R314.

The basic set is fairly common and includes a white border with the legend "Litho in USA" in the border. The second set comes in both a white border variety and a borderless variety. Neither of these varieties include the "Litho in USA" designation. The second set includes different players and different poses than the first set. The third set has a "creamy" tone and I believe was issued in Canada. Again, the players and poses are different. The fourth set is confusing and you should ask Tim about it. It features mostly Tigers and I believe Canadian minor leaguers.

If you're thinking of completing a set, you should stick to the first variety. You could spend more than a lifetime trying to complete any of the others.
