Here's what I found:

Alpha: Black Bordered, edges more rounded
Beta: Black Bordered, edges more sharp (normal) corners
Unlimited: White Bordered, double line around the border
Revised: White Bordered, single line around the border

I've also noticed that unlimited seems like it has darker print tone and revised seems more washed out.

Also, on most revised cards, the artists name is right on top of the borderline. Unlimited there is much more noticeable gap

Unlimited cards also say "Tap" instead of "T"
