T205 Green Border cards- redux

[Wite3]

Well...most t205s have white or yellow under the gold border. I own several green bordered t205s and often I feel that the gold has turned (but sometimes I am just not sure). Many of these are in awful condition. Oxidation can turn the metal to green if it has traces of copper.

I am still not sure what happened with these. Other than running a chemical test on the two inks to see if they are the same except one is oxidized (rusted) we may never know.

Oxidation and wear are my bets. Does anyone have a sharp, clean T205 green bordered card to share?

Adam they don't exist in that condition. I think a few sheets missed the gold border pass and were trashed and some were saved and cut. Most of the "True" green borders we see today are in really rough shape, missing the entire gold pass(not the ones with wear or light passes), and have hand cut characteristics. I do think these are real 205 printer scraps.

So how would y'all categorize this card?

How about this one? Are the black borders a common thing, compared to the green?

Can anyone post all of the different "border" variations known on this...T205 issues y'all speak of?!

Perhaps this will be cause for the come-uppance of T205...finally...but I doubt it??!?!?
