These Colgan's Violet and Mint Chips cards haven't been mint for ages, but this shyster considers them mint (round gum cards) for their age.
I do believe that the relatively 'dull' prewar cards we collect should not be judged in the same fashion as modern shiny cards (ones that reflect light to the extent of potentially causing retinal damage).
