I started my 64 set and have 3 questions

Answers in blue

Q 1…I’ll call them red vs. orange backs. Anybody know why two different colors? (Maybe fading) or printed different locations? Different ink?

Different inks or inking levels and maybe the stock difference.

Q 2…The fun part for me is reading the backs…..So anyway or tricks to make the cartoons at the bottom come back from fading?

They were meant to be rubbed with a coin. Ones that weren't show a mostly blank panel. I'm not sure how they treat the rubbed ones as far as Grade goes.

Q 3…why is card number 10 numbered at the left bottom while all the rest are numbered top left?

It looks like that's the only place they had enough room.
