I know that some of these aren't listable here and it's difficult without no images being provided but I thought I'd bring this list to light. Someone the ones that have the light posts, "airbrushed," are the ones I'm talking about. I have 2 of each of them for some of these and I can see that the 2 differences are exactly the same on multiple copies so I dont think it was a one time thing. The night backgrounds and day backgrounds and jersey ones aren't my biggest concern. Thanks.

"Airbrushed"?  Printing plates aren't airbrushed to affect changes. The shades of color don't sound like variations.

The images in that site's earlier entry show examples that seem to be an overall change in contrast; not variations.

Yeah, I looked a some on comc. Looks like inking issues not plate changes.

This is my site and I can assure you that an incredible amount of time (and too much money) was spent researching and cataloging this set.

There are two distinct printings. However, not every card is affected by a change. Among the two print runs can be found slight variance in some cards but the lightened backgrounds, airbrushed jerseys, airbrushed lens flares/stadium lights and other changes are always uniform. For example: Matt Williams comes in two different jersey colors, not 'many' different, which would be the case if the cards were just the product of excess color misprinting. I've found each version of nearly every variation-affected card at least 3 or 4 times over during the five years I worked on these master sets.

Also, fyi, my list is likely missing a few of the much more minor variants.

I have the #454 Mark McGwire with white mark (reflection). I know that one is there.
