Well, I think I am getting a little better at this. I believe the Alou difference is in the area of his right shoulder and the belt at the bottom. Alas, both of mine are the regular versions.

I found another post about Murphy, and my cap is not cutoff so it is the regular version.

I do believe my Duliba is a green tint as the jersey sleeves look orange and the sky is sort of aqua.

On the Woodling, are the only differences regarding the distinctness of the button and the coloring of the wall to the left of his neck? If so, mine are the regular version as the button is very clear and the wall is dark green.

I am also still lost on the Herb Score as I see no differences between the two posted on the flickr site.

1962 Score and Dublia
 
I agree on the Herb Score tint vs normal determination. When there is no cropping difference , the light wood grain is the green tint and the dark wood grain is the normal. On the Dublia card, there a slight in shape on the dark brown shape on the bottom of the card.

Score & Duliba
 
Cropping on Score & Duliba is almost identical between the green & non-green versions, although if you compare the Dulibas side-by-side, you should see a difference (see below)

Aside from the wood grain (lighter grain always = green tint), the best advice I can give on Score is to check the clarity/focus of his eyes and the "SOX" on his hat. On the greenie they are "muddier" & look to be out of focus.

With Duliba, the biggest tell is the color of the sky - although if you look at the cards side by side, the green tint Duliba also has more headroom than the non-green, so the cropping difference is top-to-bottom.

Alou
 
Take a close look at the left-to-right cropping on the Alou. You can see a slight difference when it comes to how how close his hands are to the right border, but look down at his belt, right next to the "curl" of the photo.

On the green tint, you can see a lot less of his belt than the non-green (and on the other side of his belt - Felipe's right side - the green tint shows more of the belt between the belt loop on the white border of the card.)

Also, in the side-by-side comparison, the sky is noticeably greener than the the non-green.

There is a slight cropping variation on the 116 Score....while tough to see in images, in hand you can see that there is slightly more jersey directly above the lower portion of the "curl". As mentioned previously, the focus on the Score GT version is not as crisp as the regular....on the regular version a seam in his jersey on his right shoulder is visible and the chain around his neck is also visible on the regular.

Thanks again guys! I still cannot see differences in Score or Woodling so I am attaching scans of my cards. Can anyone tell if these are regular or green tints? My gut feel is that neither of the Woodling cards are as the button is too clear. I also think the darker bordered Score is common. The lighter bordered one might be a green tint but the border still looks too dark to me. What do you folks think?

Alan-- I would defer to Darren if he pops in, but I have a set of the greenies and mine look like the pairs of Woodling and Score you can see in the post 44 link in this thread, and from your scans I would say the 4 you posted are all normal

+1, All regular copies

Agreed. All four are non-green tint variations.

Edited to add:

Here's my Score GT.

On yours, it's easy to see the seam in his shirt and his eyebrows. Also, his eyes are much more vivid in the non-green variation.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the definitive information. It has been a lot of fun reviewing all of my cards from this series. I did find 9 green tints in total, so I am glad I checked. I really appreciate all of the knowledge shared in this thread regarding these cards.

Alan,

On the Woodling card, look at the color of the uniform button, it is dark grey on the regular version and a very light green (almost disappears into the uniform) on the green tints, as well as being closer to the curl. Also, on the regular card his head and hat cast a clearly visible shadow on his left shoulder, on the green tint this shadow is very faint. There are a few more, but I'll leave you with one more, on the green tint his teeth are very white (looks like he went nuts with the teeth whitener) and seem to blend into one big tooth, on the regular you can actually see multiple teeth.

This should help with the Score green tint besides the uniform seam and focus of the Sox logo on his hat, there is some uniform showing on the regular card near the curl that is almost completely gone in the GT. Seeing them side by side the coloration and focus is a dead give away as well.

Thanks Bill! That is very helpful to have the circles pointing out the differences. I really appreciate yours and everyone else's help on these. Here are the ones I found that I am fairly certain are green tints (and two of the checklist variations). Nothing amazing, but I am still happy that I found these mixed in with my other commons.

green tint Card 151
 
Watching the Olympic diving from Rio jogged my memory that I have an open on the green tint for 151 ( Johnny Klippstein)

Any non color tells on the green tint ?

That one is pretty straight forward. On the green tint version, the sky is a muddied brown color. On the 'regular' card it is basically white. So even if you have a b/w picture of the card, the darkness (or whiteness) of the sky will easily tell the tale. On a side note, there is also a superfluous blue vertical line in the top right corner of the GT. It runs nearly parallel to the right white border line for 1/4" or so. That's also a dead giveaway, as the sky is clear there on the non-GT version.
