Believe me....that Edwards card is definitely not a designed variation.

Anyhow, the red cap Kent Peterson card came about when Leaf, in the later press runs, changed his
cap's color to Red.
I can only conclude that Leaf made this change in order to be consistent with the other 3 Cinci. Reds
players in their 1st series, who were depicted with Red caps.

Do I know this for a fact ?
No....but, I very well remember 60 years ago when I collected these Leaf's as a kid, that I got several
Dark cap Peterson cards in early Spring of '49....when the 1st series cards were available.
Two months later, I was surprised to get a Red cap Peterson.

Incidently, I still have all my original cards from my youth (1947-1952).....and, these cards enable me
to draw this conclusion.
