I will be the first to admit that I am absolutely not knowledgeable of all the "gimmicks" the card companies have brought into our hobby in the last 20 years, but is this a legit intentional VAR, SP or is it an ERR that was later corrected? If it is an intentional VAR, I must have missed something in the baseball world of the Braves, or should I say Rbaves?

I believe there are many intentional errors throughout this set meant to imitate the original 1967 release. The production codes ought to be different if that is in fact the case but I can't make them out from the scans.

Unless we're missing something, it's definitely an ERR/COR as it's not in the "spirit of traditional" SP/SSP or VAR where it's a uniform/position/person/design/name that's changed.

It is hard to make out but I believe its a variation as the code on the back appears to be different on each card.

Yes, they are intentional. Done on purpose to mimic some of the errors found in the original 1967 Topps set. Thus, they are VARs.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.
