T205 Green Border cards- redux

[packs]

There are a lot of minor league cards that didn't get fully coated with gold ink but their bare borders are white. I don't think green was laid down before the gold. This card has both "green borders" and no borders at all.

That card is designed that way as is several other ML 205's. It's amazing how many people speculate when all you have to do is look. There is red, green, white, yellow, pink, and so on under the gold pass. There was NO specific color laid first. What ever color the card is dictates what color is under the boarders.

As for Leon's card. The seller had a few others FS. This card has been up for a months off and on. All the cards had this weird hue to them. All probably from the scans/pics. Anyone look at feedback to see any other cards they sold or pics of items???

Which do you think they printed first, the borders or the image?

That is a good point Andrew. His other listed T205s do have some "greenish" issues. As I said, the seller has a good return policy though that obviously isn't something I hope to do. But if the scan is a lot different than what the card looks like, and it very well could be, then back it will go. I don't mind a little bit of a difference but not a lot.

Leon I wish you the best on it. I will be kicking myself if it turns out to be like anticipated. I should have bought them all then It's a good gamble with that kind of return policy.

That Cicotte looks like it has blue Sweet Cap. back!
It does look like it was wet at some point in time which leads me to an oxidation for that one.

Not green. Already got the ok for a return. Seller was very nice. ...and here is the other green one that I think really is green.

Leon that one looks good as long as it has no gold on it. Looks like on the left side to be cut by hand possibly. I still think those are scraps and even some with a light layer of gold may be also. Printer defects cut or discarded. They all are in bad shape. Haven't seen any in good shape like that.
