T206 Blue Old Mill
Assuming the card is legit, I'm not really suprised to hear that such a card exists. Since minor color variations exist with Old Mill SL and Lenox (Black/Brown) backs, I've always wondered why other backs don't exist in more than one color. Why aren't there green, red or brown Piedmonts for example...or maybe blue, green or black Sweet Caporals?
I suppose using green ink to print Piedmont or Sweet Caporal backs would be such a blatant disregard for quality control that ALC wouldn't do it, or maybe ATC wouldn't tolerate it. But maybe using brown ink instead of black to print a Lenox back for example was more acceptable or within a certain level of tolerance. Using blue ink instead of black to print an Old Mill back seems like it might be along the same lines. I presume it's more noticable though.
I guess the only thing that does suprise me is that something like this hasn't surfaced before now.
