Show me your T206 Lee Quillen cards. The two I have look a little different in the eyes, and a different shade of blue in the background

Here are a few I own. The Carolina Brights you have has great registration and color, I wonder if it was one of the first sheets printed with fresh ink? Maybe that's why his eyes look so sharp and the background is a nice deep blue?

Not to mention different lettering and a size difference in the space between the lettering and the bottom border of the portrait.

The 2 different series are pretty easy to call from the fronts only, the 150's are much sharper and deeper color. Not just this player but all of them in these 2 series,

Thanks Scott. I did not realize that. Does anyone have shots of a 150/350 together with a difference in front image? It would be interesting to see a few of them.

I think Scott's observation is generally correct, but in this case Quillen is a 350-only series card. cmoking's two blues are each different from the blue in Sean's right-most example. I would guess that either the cards ran through the press when the blue ink was at different levels of strength or, maybe more likely, slightly different hues of blue were used during different press runs within the 350 series production. Or some combination of both.
