You're certainly free to feel however you want, and sure, there are tiny differences between the cropping of the photos with regard to how much of the 'B' appears. I definitely agree with that. But they all undeniably fall into one of two distinct categories: the 'B' is either severely cropped off (and the bat appears in the lower right) or it isn't severely cropped off and it appears to be a full 'B' (and the bat is non-existent, or in some cases, just a microscopic sliver appears). There is also the telltale feature of a larger light colored area to the left of his hat in the full 'B' version. Taken together with the differing back verbiage, I have no problem cataloguing 4 different versions of this card on my variations list.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
