Posted By: <b>scott brockelman</b><p>I have and have seen unfinished cards with out the gold applied and the base print is yellow. The green ones have the gold applied, but have suffered a chemical reaction with their environmental storage for nearly 100 years and basically changed colors.<br /><br />Scott

If you would like to see what it looks like when the gold ink runs out, look at image #6<br /><br /><a href="http://imageevent.com/exhibitman/freaksandgeeks" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://imageevent.com/exhibitman/freaksandgeeks</a><br><br>Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc

Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>I have green bordered ones that I got in a raw single owner family collection where the other several hundred were gold so I am not sure the aging idea works here. All cards were stored the same way for years and only 2 were green bordered. Dan.
