The H&S super set lists a variant for Woodling, a bottom left front border break. Lemke discussed it in a SCD article several years back, but he did not include it as a variation in the Standard Catalog because he had narrowed his definition of a variation to cards intentionally changed by the manufacturer.

Although he had previously included some border break variations in the Catalog, such as the 73 Bahnsen and Bell, he came to recognize that the 73 set and other Topps sets had numerous border break recurring print defects. I assume he left those previously listed as variations in the Catalog because they had already achieved hobby recognition, but he quit adding them

The 3d version, the red blob on the back, which is scarce but recurring, I owe to John Rafferty who posted one in the never ending variations thread
