The first 80 can be found with backs printed in red or black.The Sain and Page cards (48 and 49) have a variation in which the bio info on the back of the cards is reveresed. Since the errors appear in black back only, that was probably the intiaial run. Perhaps when they corrected that error is when they also shifted to red print. My experience is the black backs are more scarce, and carry a premium that seems to have varied and, to me, dimisnished some.

You mentioned stars, card 307 Campos, can be found with one red and one black star on the back, as opposed to two red stars. It carries a big premium. I think there is a good one currently in the Goodwin auction
