Bob MarquetteAdam- blue? Am I missing something here, the background color is green.
Again the thing which really bothers me is the "20" thing. I emailed the seller and he said he has had the card along with the others for a long time, but as I recall that "20" reprint series came out in the 80's so it's possible he could have had a reprint and never knew it for 20+ years. I checked all the other E90-1s on ebay and also the completed sales within the last 30 days and not a single one has any smear or abrasion in that area on the back. that doesn't prove anything but it is curious. When I asked the seller if he would return the purchase price if the card turned out to be a reprint, he side-stepped the question, never answering it, simply stating that he had had the cards for a long time. I couldn't pin him down on the refund issue.
I guess we'll see who is the biggest gambler on the board as the card is a very tough one. I picked up a Peaches Graham the other day on ebay which is almost if not equally as tough and there was no white/tan front/back disparity like this one and of course no abrasion....
