Brooks Robinson and the Baltimore Orioles

The sets came in two versions, red and green, both limited to 2000 sets. Card #1 in each set was autographed by Brooks.

My question... In the process of organizing a few dupes, I came across two different backs for card #10 in the red set. One card has a solid red border on back, while the other has a white border and thinner red border inside. All of my other cards, including the green set all have the solid red or green style border. I found a couple of other white border cards listed on eBay, but all of them are card #10.

Does anyone know the story behind the variation and whether or not all the red set cards can be found in both styles?

Thanks guys for any info...

If anyone is working on the set, I have dupes of #1, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 from the red set. All solid red borders.

I’ve never noticed the variation; thanks for pointing it out.
