There are 3 poses for Fred Carroll for Pittsburg in Lipset's catalog.
From Lew Lipset's catalog: The easiest way to determine an 1887 card is by the brand "Old Judge Cigarettes", which is always either in a semi-circular band at the top of the card, in a similar band at the upper corner of the card, or in a small dark rectangle at the top of the card.

Sounds like you have the circular band at the upper corner. 1887 card.

Don't think this is a variation. If it is someone on the board can correct me.

Thanks Joe
