1962 Post Maris. I think I found a new variation!

Note: the airbrushed cards all have a partial "g" in Roger also.

I see the things you are calling airbrushed on every card you posted. It just sticks out way more on some because of the tint/color of the different cropping variations.

Seems that the "g" spot (sorry) is the easiest spotted variation marker. There's no nuance to it, the g is cut off or full.

I am using "airbrushed" as a hypernym, possibly incorrectly I admit.

Nonetheless, I do not believe the added color on the variation
happened by accident. It clearly looks artificial.

I believe airbrushed is the proper term or at least the one most people use. It's a cool variation for the error/player collectors.

There's also a third spot on the right border across from Roger's schnozz. Airbrushed to me implies an intentional change to hide something or improve the look of something. There is nothing in the other variation that needs to be hidden, so I presume it's just an unintentional printing error.

The spots look like a print flaw, but the stripe at the upper right is there in both blue and red. And is almost certainly intentional.

That made me look more closely at the spots, which at first looked like fisheyes, and those are also in both blue and red.

It's a puzzler why they would do the stripe, and the spots make no sense, unless something spilled on the original art at some point.
