Old Mill Brown v. Southern

Brown Old Mill backs are such a subtle difference from the others that i think alot of people dont know they have them. I think people get confused on them too as it should be the lettering thats brown and not the background of the card.I also dont think theyre as hard as people say because i have 2 of them that i didnt buy knowingly for the back and i dont have anymore Southern Leaguers than anyone else with the set.Ive only seen a couple true Brown Lenox cards but the true Brown Old Mills have definitely shown up more

I also think its wrong to list the overprint backs among the toughness chart,they should be listed with variations like miscut backs.I have a sweet caporal back with a scroll on it that doesnt come close to either factory line,so why couldnt it be a rare 2 factory plus scroll back? In my opinion you dont do stuff like that because it wasnt meant to be a card released like that,so it should be an error/variation.You can say its a 1/1 error but then why arent every other type of "error" back listed on the page.Chances are it was something done at the factory and not put into packs,something a father working there brought home for his son,or something of that ilk
