This is not going as quickly as I had hoped. Since COVID I've been busier than ever and I am not in a health profession.
I picked up hardly anything new this year. I think I added a few of the baseball stadiums.
I am continuing a look at the variations that I have for each deck / series / pack. Here I will take a look at series 20. I've got all 24 cards from the first printing, the "A" printing and the "B" printing as well as a few cards from the "C" printing. If there are some variations I should find them.
I hope to keep moving along through these decks. I need to get more than one done every six months somehow.
I don't know how I will ever get this set done at my current pace.

20-02 Beyond Sports - The Astrodome. I've seen some of these where the front border colors don't match. Beyond Sports should be gray and baseball should be tan. Oddly, the "A" printing is gray.
I'm glad that I had the chance to see a baseball game in the Astrodome.
20-04 Horse Racing - Harness Racing and Saddle Trotting. The "B" printing changes the back caption, correctly noting that harness racing is shown in the bottom picture.
20-06 Motorcycle Racing - The World Champions. The "A" printing has different text than the first printing. The "B" printing is formatted differently and it only lists drivers with 3+ titles. All are different from each other.
20-08 Tennis - Jan Kodes. The "A" and "B" printings added 1976 and 1977 Awards and Records.
20-11 Table Tennis - The Expedite Rule and The Doubles. The only change on A/B is the icons on the front of the card. See the bottom of this post to see an example with card #20-24.
20-17 Fencing - The Foil. The first printing and the "A" printing list champions up to 1977. The "B" printing added the 1978 and 1979 winners.
20-22 Table Tennis- Match Specifics. The only change on A/B is the icons on the front of the card. See the bottom of this post to see an example with card #20-24.
20-23 Swimming - World Records. The text changed along with the as of dates for the records. Al three have different dates. Plenty of event records were updated each year between the first printing, the "A" printing and the "B" printing.
Nice to see someone I used to work with still on the record list.
20-24 Gymnastics - The Beam. The only change on A/B is the icons on the front of the card.
Do people consider this a variation? I guess if one considers printing "A" and "B" different because of the letter on the back then this fits into that distinction.
