Why are all the green borders in such bad shape ? Are they real ? Are they made to look bad and old like many other forgeries ? Just curious .

I admit that I am not in the know that much on T205, but this question is the only one I have on the thread.
Does anyone have any examples of the same card with the same back that displays the green on one and the yellow/white on the other? I just have a hard time without not thinking it is the card design and missing the gold pass or it came off without seeing two different examples with the same back. If modern Topps cards are missing the foil pass constantly, missing it in 1911 is logical. Just a quick question, if two of the same are well known then don't toast me. ![]()

My guess, as has been discussed, is the green borders are oxidized to look that way naturally. OF course they could have also missed a color pass too.

Picked up this Wheat with a weird green spot on the edge . Found this old thread sort of on the subject.

Here is one with a partial green border. I agree with the oxidized theory.
