There are 5 variations of this card listed, but my eyes don't see what the variations are referring to? Black scribble? White scribble? Where?

It refers to the bat knob.

On the bat knob itself. The origianl issue of the card had NSFW verbiage on it. Fleer jumped through hoops to make corrections to it through the printing run.

Ah, ok. I didn't even see that. Thanks for the heads up. Looks like I have the black box.

Just recalling I know of:
- The unmarked ("raw" with the saying on the bat knob)
- Black Box with square corners
- Black Box with rounded corners
- White Out - A more difficult version to find and also can be easily counterfeited by just using "white out" correction fluid
- Blacked out "scribble" that isn't quite a box or circle?
I have at least the unmarked and one of the black boxes. I might have the squared corners and the rounded corners versions. I have no idea where any of them are currently in my mass of cards.

Jumped through hoops? You're being kind to Fleer.
Money grab, pure and simple. 1 correction (assuming the original got through on accident. which I doubt) would have been plenty. 4 corrections was just to make collectors buy more packs.

Just updated the Note2s to mention the knobs. Looks like someone didn't like what was there for the unedited version, so I put a family-friendly comment there instead
