I discovered that the print size of each player's name (perhaps text that is a bit bolder) is different on two examples of this card. Even the red title and blue sub-heading have changed. Has anyone else found other additions?
I extented a red line underneath the first three check boxes on each card to show the difference in spacing.

Apparently PSA is aware of it.

They may be aware, but it appears they still can't identify them properly. Compared to the image at the top, both of those slabbed ones look like the smaller font.

Agreed with Tom. I see no difference in the font on the two PSA cards, like I do in the OP's examples, but I do see the difference in the spacing that the red lines at the top showed. The longest name in column 2, Kirkland, seems as close to the border on both too. If there was smaller print, I think that's where it would be most obvious. Weird.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

I was thinking the same thing.

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

The C in Checklist is taller than the checkbox next to it in the card on the right. The one on the left, they are the same height.
Definitely looks like something we would consider a VAR.

That set has a few variations but I hold off on adding missing ones until I can see visual proof of each (and figure out what the differences are, because some of them aren't obvious!)

The SCD Standard Catalogue of Baseball Cards has the VAR listed noting the larger "Checklist".
