Grey Faces
There were at least two runs of black back cards (we know this because there are Sain/Page versions with the correct back and with the wrong back).
It appears to me (and George Vrechek who wrote an article that included this point) that there are a half dozen or so cards from the black back series that were originally printed with "grey" faces, and later without the grey faces. George hypothesizes that these were corrected at the same time as the Page/Sain error (and that's as good as any theory in my book). To my knowledge, the Easter is NOT one of the cards that had a grey face version, and I do not think the card you showed has any variation to it. Cheers, Patrick
