Default 1913 National Game: Borders white, cream, tan?

I've seen this (playing) card with varying shades on the large borders--from off-white to dark cream, even in high grades. In fact, I just saw a Gem that was cream-to-almost light tan. Do they vary that much and if so why? If suppose to be white should that Gem not be a Gem? Or perhaps these cards started out with slightly darker borders that go white over years of exposure?
