T207 Recruit Ink
I need to hear from the T207 gurus. As we all know, these little beauties came with several reverses, the most common by far being Recruit. But as I discovered when winning a T207 on offer on Ebay, which had been listed by David Bryan, there was a difference with the normal Recruit print I don't recall the player, but the card had been graded by BVG and noted on the label that it was a brown ink Recruit.
My first thought, after I had examined it closely and determined, yes, it was definitely brown ink as opposed to the normal black print, was that this was just like the T206 brown Lenox. Eureeka!
I then decided to consign it, along with other stuff, in the last Mile High auction and it received very indifferent treatment by bidders. I was more than
a little surprised. Maybe the different inks has long been known in the hobby, but it was new to me. I wonder if BVG is the only tpg noting the difference.
I have another T207 with this anomaly: Ed Ruelbach BVG 5 clearly stating brown Recruit back. Can anybody help? Please
