This would count, in my opinion, as a legitimate variation, unlike, say, the Davis "blue C on cap", which is just a color error (that card exists, btw, as Doug D. proved to us a few years ago).
You can see the outline of the "A" (for the Athletics) that's on Paddy's shirt in these examples. I bet they switched him to the "C" after he got traded, printed it, then someone said 'too big', so they went back and fixed it.
