Change of Pace: 1962 Green Tints (scan heavy)

[savedfrommyspokes]

Thank you Tom for the link to your page....as with Darren's work, your page is also most helpful. For me, several of the Ruth Special cards are the toughest to determine if they are GT or not and I find I almost always have to use the cropping differences as the determining factor. Your link makes it easy to do so.

Thank you Tom, your and Darren's answers have been extremely helpful as I wrap up the 1962 GT subset.

I forgot the thread we had going a long while back, but it featured a ton of cards that PSA, et al, had misidentified as green tints. Well, I ran into this blatantly wrong one tonight on ebay (and I don't even bother telling the sellers they have a mislabeled card anymore, because the sellers always ignore the facts and just leave the cards up)…

Yowza!!! Not even close. I think the folks at PSA could use my comprehensive GT guide. If anyone has any connections over there, PLMK.

In the current issue of SCD ( October 3), in his "Leading Off" column, Tim Bartsch, the SCD editor and gateway to getting variations listed in their catalog, writes generically about variations and variation collectors. He mentions that in an upcoming issue they will be looking "in depth" at the 62 green tints.

Darren---you may already be plugged into that effort. If not you may want to get in touch with him...tom.bartsch@fwmedia.com

Hey Al.
I contacted Tom a few weeks ago and we exchanged an e-mail or two regarding my comprehensive 1962 Green Tints Guide, but I haven't heard anything in a while, so it doesn't look like I'll be involved in that issue. Too bad.

If this turns out to be another generic article about the green tints that would be a shame. Did you send him a copy of your guide ? Or maybe a sample

I am going through my 1962 Topps cards and am trying to determine if I have any green tints. This thread has been an amazing resource, as has the flickr account with all of them side by side. Darren, I would pay for a copy of the guide you developed if you ever decide to distribute it.

Can anyone explain the difference on Chuck Hiller 188? Checking the flickr account, it looks like the green tint as a less pronounced green field in the background, and that the pole is almost red in color as opposed to the regular version with a dark green field and a black colored pole. Is this accurate?

Also, what are the tells for Bob Nieman 182? I could not discern any from the flickr page. How about the Hot Corner Guardians 163? Bob Duliba 149? Alou 133? Woodling 125? Murphy 119? I am sorry for all of the questions but looking at the cards side by side on the flickr page I could not tell the difference between these six.

Thanks in advance,
Alan
