Default caramel vs tobacco

The Mars eraser extracted the pencil marks that weren't on my card originally. So, if there are a couple of missing fibers seen under TPG lights, but it aesthetically improves the card, it works for me. In my situation it took a SGC 20 to a SGC 40. For tobacco vs. caramel, I voted caramel, but am open to change on it as well. Barry you have a great point on how they were distributed being the way they should be classified. In looking closely at the ones I have, it appears on a couple there are caramel stains. Leon, don't know if you see any on yours, but the couple I've posted here have stains. If Old Put bought a block of cards from Briggs(allegedly the maker of E98's) in the color they chose(15 known are red/5 are blue), then you wouldn't think they were already distributed in caramels. But, the stains tell me they could've been in caramel packages before they were stamped. Interesting debate on their classification and how they were distributed.
