Steve DYes it is said that the backs are a different shade. With that said no TPG that I am aware of will list it as a variety. The Ryan rookie is the key I believe. JJ teaparty had one (the whole set) a few yrs. back and was trying to get it graded as such to no avail. (It was an opened set) I guess the only way to prove that they are indeed a variety is to find a sealed game and have a TPG open it and then grade out the Ryan. I am also of the opinion that not all the games includd a Ryan.
