1962 Topps Green Tints - Side By Side Comparison
 

Is there a place I can see all 1962 Topps Green Tints side by side with non-Green Tints? I'm finding it hard to navigate on both COMC and TCDB.

Discerning the differences is sometimes tough for me.

Really useful for some of the less obvious ones, great resource (I have no affiliation to the creator).

Wow, some of them are quite hard to tell

Without looking at that image sit, IIRC the Dick Hall cards are almost impossible to tell apart and there are a couple of others difficult as well.

That site was a great help when I was putting the '62 set together.

Agree. Would not have been able to complete all the green tint variations as quickly and accurately without that site. Still visit it

That is a great link. I am putting a ‘62 set together and have been debating whether to do the green tints or not. Maybe so

I used this site to finish my set as well. I only had one of this series so needed all 86 cards. Some green, some regular. Bought them all on ebay for an average of about $8 per card. That included a few higher dollar Ruth subsets. I went non-graded on the majority and will say look out, more trim jobs out there than I thought. Some look great but don't measure up when in hand. Had to buy about 10 cards twice.

The '62 set chase may be my favorite of those I took on. Part of it is the nostalgia factor as the set came out when i was nine and I really discovering the game. It's the set I remember most from flipping and trading in the courtyard of our school.

This 2012 story from the PSA site is a fun read. And very informative.

There are some neat variants in the 62 set beyond the green tints, and within the green tints there are a bunch of Dick Hall lip fungus variants :)

Here's a link to a thread I started many moons ago that highlights the thinness of some of the GT cards:

Having spent way too much of my life investigating them (and creating a comparison guide that I used to post here and there on Net54), I consider myself a bit of a pseudo-expert on the 1962 Green Tints.

(Of course there are exceptions, but) I have no problem saying that some (many?) came right out of the packs in 1962 being much too thin side to side.
With all of the other problems that specific print run had, it seems to be a very logical fit that they also screwed up the sheet cutting portion of the undertaking.

I had not really given the green tints much of a look...until I clicked the link here to see how many I may or may not have. I had 11...on accident...lol. I ended buying all the cards that literally had different pictures and now have decided to complete the rest. This site always costs me money...haha.

Thanks for the info all...

Is there any general agreement on the relative scarcity of the green tint versions vs. the non-green tint versions?
