One comment- the Cairo Monopol ink doesn't look very brown; almost black actually. Is it just that scan? Is it more brown in real life?
Thanks!

I have had T80 Cairo Monopol cards with a lighter Brown appearance than the one I have in this scan.
However, the other factor to consider is the "boldness" of the lettering of the "
Cairo Monopol" brand name,
which has the effect of making it look darker. Whereas the thinner lettering of......
