That's cool, I wonder if it's two black passes or if the plate was laid out double.
There are a few little diferences in the black, mostly the line between the fore ground and the green background. The lower left corner of the border has a small projection too. The doubling makes it tough to be sure of some others. It's one of those ones where the longer you look the more differences you find.

The red looks to be applied totally different on each card too. On the white stock card, there is red only on Schalk's cheeks and in his catchers mitt.
On the tan stock card there is red applied to the mitt area, but his entire face has red print dots; his forearms and the ground have some red in them too. The red ink along with the color of the paper stock must be what gives the appearance of flesh tones in the second card.
