There are normal variations due to printing variations. In particular, the colors didn't always align perfectly from card to card. This can cause the different eyeball placements, overlapping colors and blurriness. Also, there can be color variations due to the amount of an ink is applied. You see this stuff on modern cards, like 1970s Topps, but it was especially common on T206 and other period color cards. So a bit of image variation from card to card shouldn't be a worry in and of itself, and in fact should be expected if you're looking at enough cards.
