1981 Fleer Star Sticker Color Variations

This one is not something I usually pounce on but clearly the 1981 set was either printed in 2 locations or had 2 runs probably the later.  If you notice they come in a dark blue border or a lighter blue border the lighter blue seems the rarer of the two but I've never seen any premium on them.  You can also notice on the front the stars on the top and the lettering - the darker blue has more of a 3-d effect an extra white shadow line while the lighter blue does not.

I doubt anyone beside super hard core collectors care about this but I think it worthy enough to post.
