1962 Post experts - Is this another variation?

It's interesting that the photos are centered differently in each card. Notice the position of the black stripe on his jersey in comparison to the red line on the right border ...

While far from an expert on the topic, There are definitely known "tint" variations within the post set. This looks to be exactly what you have. That said, I don't know enough about them to offer a thought on any difference in value if any or which is the tougher one. Be well.

Dont know anything about Post cards, but I saw right away the 2 cards are cropped slighly different, or the print is way off. Look on the right side where the black strip hits the red design (bottom right corner of the image area).


edited to say... i wasnt the first to see this I see

Not sure if they are cropped differently, I think someone cut into the red strip and that part of the card is missing, if cut the same would be there.

They are cropped differently. The right edge is a bit hard to tell because of the trim, and the red could be off center. But on the lower left corner of the picture there's a tiny dark line that's probably a uniform crease. On one it's right at the edge of the picture, and on the other it's farther to the right of the edge of the picture. There's a couple other differences, but they could be from the different colors being out of register.

There are numerous color variations throughout the 1962 Post set. Different press runs for different cereals--with potentially different combinations of players on each box.

I don't believe there is any type of premium for the color variations--other than the blue line variations. Many players have the bright blue sky/gray sky tint variation.
