Comparing a Kellogg's Proof Card to the Card Actually Issued

A while back I showed a Pete Rose proof card from 1977 - Pete Rose Proof.  I promised to show the two cards together to see if there was any difference.  Well, here they are.

Without even magnifying the cards, it is easy to see that the infield has been lightened on the regular-issue 1977 Kellogg's Pete Rose. 

The border colors also changed before putting the card into cereal boxes.  I will be on the lookout for more differences once I get a closer look at the cards.
