OK guys....thanks for your inputs.
At the Philly Show 6 of 8 guys that looked at this Frank King card said it appeared to have a hint of brown lettering.
Two of the 8 said it was faded black. Perhaps, the florescent lighting in the showroom made a difference.
Or, perhaps my scan isn't the best.
In any event, I guess it really ain't brown. Case closed.
