Pete- GAI seemingly grades everything as "First graded" I don't know if that means the first time a particular card was submitted for grading or the first time they graded that type of card, in other words, the first time they graded THAT Murray or the first time they graded ANY T206 Murray.
In any event, the orange back Murray is not a variation, it is a color freak. There are several cards in the T206 set which have orange backgrounds instead of red, none are variations, I have owned a couple through the years and have one now, a Hoffman I believe. They are neat because of the color difference but I haven't found any of them to have a premium.
