The Old Cardboard site states that the 41 Goudey has five background colors - red, yellow, gold, green and blue. Anybody have a yellow and a gold so I can see the difference ??? The one I have I'm not sure what it is ?

PSA only recognizes four colors.

PSA is probably right but I respect the expert opinions of the many collectors here on this forum more, also when a respected site like Old Cardboard says that there are five.....I wonder ????

http://www.oldcardboard.com/r/r324/r324.asp?cardsetID=882I've owned quite a few of these and I've never seen one with gold color. Perhaps there's some slight variation in the yellow ones but that's probably due more to storage methods/fading than it is manufacturing. In other words, I've seen a slight variance in some of the other colors as well but that doesn't mean there are any sky blue or lime green 1941 Goudeys.

4 colors only. I've got hundreds of these cards and there are slight color differences in all the colors due to fading. But no consistent "gold" color that would warrant being a unique color.
