Checked my Batter Ups (still need No. 145 Joe Medwick) and all 191 have uniform tan (golden brown) backs. Still, it's possible a few R318s were printed on the wrong stock.

The front of the card in question, by the way, is also B&W, which is curious as well, because I only have B&W Batter Ups in low numbers. All my high #s have subtle green, blue and sepia tints.
Also, it's clear from the scan I posted that this was a color scan and not a B&W scan because both front and back have some very small brown stains or foxing. If this was an Exhibit, it would be called a fake. Does anybody have any opinions or comments? Thanks, Chris
