Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Hi, I have a question on the E120 cards. I only have a handful of them, but one I have is a much obviously darker color. I know the NL cards are blueish tint and the AL a brownish tint. <br /><br />But one of my NL cards is far far darker blue (Toney card below), especially the paper color. All of my other NL cards have blue print on a almost white paper stock (like Myers below).<br /><br />Is this normal?? Does anyone else have these darker blue cards like the Toney?<br /><br />Thanks for any help.<br /><br />Frank<br /><br />Edited to add back pics<br /><br />Thanks for all the help, I never own many of the E120 cards and when I picked up the Toney it was just so different than the few I owned, I guess I just got a batch of lighter colored ones. Looking around since then I see they do vary in color a bit.

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>The one on the right looks very blue to me. Bluer than blue. And sadder than sad. (hahaha. Sorry - I about cracked myself up with that one.) <br /><br />But seriously - I don't pay that much attention to AL/NL differences in general b/c I focus on Detroit players, but that one on the right just looks bluer than any E120 I can think of offhand.<br /><br />J

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>They are both E120's with team checklist on back, same thin card stock, etc.<br /><br />The Myer isnt a W573 card (gray/white), I have plenty of W573s including uncut strips.<br /><br />I did a search (Google Images) and I found that some E120 NL cards are a bit bluer than others. I just think the card stock color varried a bit and I got one that is very blue. <br /><br />I only have 8 NL cards and 7 are like the Myers in color.<br /><br /><br />Interested to know what rough % of the NL cards are the darker blue color. If anyone has a complete set or large group Id be interested to know.<br /><br />Thanks <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Josh K.</b><p>Frank, I previously owned a Max Carey that was the same color blue as your card.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Hello Frank,<br /><br />I have 11 NL E120s, and all are blue ink on blue paper, like your Toney (who was a very good pitcher, by the way). I have no white looking NL E120s. My NL E120s have blue ink on the back, too. <br /><br />My W573s look white like that, but they are blank backed, and you say that your white E120s have the team listing, so they aren't the W cards.<br /><br />What color ink is on the back of the white NL cards???<br /><br />I looked in Mr. Lipset's vol 2, and he describes teh color as green or turquoise... Mine look kinda blue, maybe that is an aging thing.<br /><br />Mr. Lipset mentions V61 cards, numbered Neilson's Chocolate cards.<br /><br />I'd like other folks to describe their NL E120s...<br /><br />Frank H. W.
