Regarding the SOVEREIGN "apple green" back phenomena....some interesting stuff

[tedzan]

There are varying degrees of the green color on the SOVEREIGN cards. Typically, the cards in the 350-only series appear to have a deeper green back.

The "apple green" (350/460 series subjects) is a distinctive shade of yellow-green, that is un-mistakeable.

The 150 backs can vary in their shades of green.

The 460-only cards usually appear to have a lighter shade of green; however, other 460 backs are a darker shade of green.........

Thanks Ted.

The apple green do seem to almost "flouresce"(sp?) way more than the other shades. It's interesting that this particular back has more than two "shades" of green. I know Piedmont has two shades of blue, and I've seen lighter and darker Sweet Caporals (I'm not sure the Sweet Caporals have two different shades of red, but rather some are faded and some are still solid).

Another interesting thing is the difference in the brown color in the brown OM and the brown Lenox,,, sorry, I'm getting off track.

I have always thought that T206 Sovereign's had a green back. It's amazing that y'all made this discovery...Here are two cards that I bought from a guy in England on ebay a few months ago....

Check-out my two UZIT cards....light blue vs. dark blue. Quite similar to the PIEDMONT Factory 42 vs. Factory 25 cards.

whooooooa!

Mr. Zanidakis,

Do you actually think there are different variations of Uzit backs too, or is one just faded?

That would be seriously wild. Do you think there would be a premium in pricing based on the different shade of blue?

The T206 set seriously blows my mind on a fairly regular basis. Oh, how I love it!

The UZIT back on the Herzog card is not faded. I have had (or seen) seen other UZIT cards with that lighter shade of blue ink.

I would not think the price of a UZIT card would be a function of dark blue or lighter blue ink. UZIT's are expensive, regardless.
