I thought these were only issued with blue printing originally. I have bought reprints off of ebay that were black printing and returned them from another seller. I have bought several Diamond Stars from this seller and he is a class act so any information on the printing of the Ginters is welcome.<BR><BR>

Posted By: <b>Keith O'Leary</b><p>Dan, I'm at work and can't look at mine, but I'm almost positive the checklist A & G N28 backs are printed in green ink. In addition to this card being of questionable vintage, it is very oddly shaped to boot. K<BR>

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>I wouldn't call it green, but more of a blueish-green. Almost all my A&G have this color ink on the back except the large size World Decorations cards, which are tan/brown.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>Keith O'Leary</b><p>More than 95 percent of all variations in human color vision involve the red and green receptors in men's eyes. It is very rare for anyone—male or female—to be "blind" to the blue end of the spectrum, although it can occur. There is a genetic explanation for this phenomenon. The gene coding for the blue receptor lies on chromosome 7, which is shared equally by men and women, and that this gene does not have any neighbor whose DNA sequence is similar. Blue color blindness is caused by a simple mutation in this gene.<BR><BR>Red/green color blindness is not simply a problem with confusing red and green. It also causes problems with an unlimited pairing of colors that fall on the confusion line. For example problems can occur distinguishing between blue-green and pink or blue-green and purple. Color-blind individuals may not be able to distinguish between olive-colored and rust-colored socks, while they could distinguish between bright green and olive socks, rust and red socks or rust and bright green socks.<BR><BR>Now.....bluish / green...real problematic, <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>. Wonder if dark green or dark blue can look black to a color blinded person?

Posted By: <b>julie</b><p>and continue in that color throughout. The Caruthers I got so long ago I can't remember; the Clarkson I got from Dennis King at one of Dennis Purdey's few shows in Pleasonton, CA, and the Keefe I got in a Smollin auction just recently.<BR><BR>Women are either never, or almost never, color blind. A woman must have color blind genes from both her parents to be color blind. <BR><BR>I had to take off one contact lense to see the color in the smaller print; it looked black at first.
