Default Other questions ...

Agreed on the "anonymous" backs, Ron

Beyond that, there are all sorts of card/printing mysteries:

  • Why do some of the cards have silver/grey borders and others tan ... what are the distributions?
  • Why are some (small?) number of cards printed on the back with brown ink rather than black ... again, what are the distributions?
  • Why do some of the cards look really dull/drab (as if they are washed out) yet they are not obviously worn, bleached (maybe U/V?)
  • What was the printing process really like, and how does it compare to the T206 (or C46) process?
  • How common are the print freaks/errors?
  • Just how many "swapped/wrong backs" are there?
  • How many different Anon-3 Recruits are there, really?
  • Why are some of the Recruit cards so difficult to find in any grade at/above VG/EX?
