REA auction lot......58 green border T205 cards
Here's a large lot of these featured in Rob's auction several years ago. I thought you guys would like to check it out...... 58 green border T205's
I'll offer this observation for what it's worth. There appears to be quite a number of Minor Leaguer's with green borders. And, in another T205 thread we arrived at the conclusion that the 12 subjects in the Minor League series were printed very late in 1911. So what I'm alluding to here is that all these T205's with green borders are possibly the result of American Litho. running out of gold ink in their final press run(s)......thereby using green ink for the borders (instead of gold). Just another wild Ted Z theory, so please be kind. TED Z .

As previously stated it seems most green borders tend to be in lower than normal condition. Curious as to why if they were just the result on an end of production run.

Would there be a possibility that the Minor Leaguers were actually printed in early 1912?

Based on the bios of most of the 12 subjects in the Minor League series, we know that they had to have been printed very late in 1911......or, in early 1912 as you are suggesting.
There were a good number of gold-bordered (non-sports) sets issued in 1911. So, it isn't far-fetched to think that some of the T205 production was actually carried over into 1912. TED Z . Last edited by tedzan; 02-02-2015 at 06:34 PM. Reason: Corrected typo.
