Quote:
In the 1962 Topps set, the early press runs of the second series (cards 110-196) were printed with extra green ink. As a result, the backgrounds of a limited number of Series Two cards have a lime-green "tint" to it.
2011 Topps Heritage evokes these "Green Tint" cards with a special variation available in all packs of cards 110-196, EXCEPT for Joba Chamberlain's card #159. Instead, #159 was replaced with Joba Chamberlain's "139 kneeling ball & glove" variation (see below).
In addition, two other color tints were available exclusively in retail packs.
Blue tint: Exclusive to Wal-Mart looseys
Red tint: Exclusive to Target looseys
Like the Green Tints, the checklist on the Blue and Red Tints parallels cards 110-196 in the set.
