Scott,
You're right. If the shading did tell us something about the production dates or shed light on the issue in any significant way, then this would be important.
So, what does it tell us?
I agree that a variation is something that was intentional, but it doesn't matter if this is a variation or not if it reveals something about the set.
Have you been able to identify any patterns? Have you found more than one example of the same player with the shading?
Rob
