Our database lists an ERR and COR. Other sources cite them as two variations. Well, my card is not listed anywhere. Has it gone unnoticed for almost 50 years? I think they are all variations. It's possible Topps didn't like the wording "To increase the scores, load up your deck..." or "To increase your scores, load up your deck...". Hard to tell which actually came first. Then didn't like those and changed it a third time to "To increase the scores of your games, load up your deck...". If anything, the two we have listed in our database are both ERR because of the incomplete phrasing. But I lean more toward variations, the phrasing of the cards aren't 100% unacceptable English. So, when I get Admin to unlock the set should I list my card as COR and change the other two to ERR? Or change all three to VAR?

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

Huh. I occasionally find tiny things like this and confess that I'm too lazy to report them.
I checked my collection, and found that....I don't have any of these.
I think yours is a parallel set....Kidding!
Yours is probably the COR, and the other two are errors.

Look at the large type on your card, Chuck - it has an extra word as well.
Methinks they changed it in each series.
Edit: What does the Venezuelan one look like?

Another good catch...and it only took 49 years. So, do you think the first two as ERR and mine as COR? Or all three as VAR?

My vote until we know more is 3 VAR.

I also believe that they should all be listed as VAR.
