Thanks glad you all liked it.

One thing to note and especially with the 1925-31's PC backed is that the colors do fade (I imagine from exposure to sun/light) so you can find many different shades of the colors, seems to be more pronounced on a few of them blue, red.

I do think there are some undiscovered colors (maybe the print machine had another color loaded, paint got blended together, etc). Here is one I am not sure of, looks more aquamarine (not really green or blue) to me but could also be some kind of fade-

The aquamarine looks identical to the Klein I don't own. And to me, there are definitely two different greens: I'll call the first Incredible Hulk Green and the second Light Green. There is no way that comes from fading. See my post above. And the aquamarine seems too similar to my example to not be a distinct color. Now whether all poses/players have these colors is a completely different question, and not one I think we'll get an answer to in our lifetime. For now, I believe we have a pretty good read on two players (Klein and Grove).

I think Old Cardboard has a run of Hartnett PC back colors.

Scott,
I know you and I have emailed in the past about the 1939-1946 Exhibits, mainly pertaining to Ted Williams. I know of various shades of sepia vs brown and then black & white on these (mainly experience with Ted Williams), but have you seen any other colors done for the 1939-1946 Exhibit cards?

I am not an expert, nor do I follow them religiously, but don't remember seeing different colors..other than what you mentioned.
