Chemical Composition of T205 Borders
 
Posted By: <b>Darren</b><p>What's the chemical composition of gold borders of T205? I seem to recall that it's part copper and my gas chromatograph is on the fritz again.

Posted By: <b>Shoppincher</b><p>I do think it has some copper because one of my t205's has a greenish border. That happens when copper rusts.

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>Agree that they're likely part copper, as copper tends to tarnish green (see Statue of Liberty).

Posted By: <b>Gilbert Maines</b><p>Does the degredation of the t205 borders affect the card's grade? <br />Should it?
