John,

I don't know about all of the spelling errors you mentioned. But wrt Mullin/Mullen and Willett/Willetts, both were corrected but on different cards of the same players.

Willetts is spelled that way on the throwing card, but is corrected to Willett on the batting pose card. Mullen is spelled that way on the portrait, but corrected to Mullin on the batting and throwing cards.

So it's not that they went back and corrected spelling on an original image, so that one pose has two different spellings. The different spellings were updated on different poses. With the Magie/Magee, the same portrait card has both spellings.

I don't know about the others you mentioned, but it seems to me that the Mullin and Willett errors were corrected "going forward" only, and not on anything that had already had the printing heads designed and cut incorrectly. I think.
